Full disclosure, we recorded this in February, just as the Alabama Supreme Court IVF decision was handed down.  I sit down with Scott Weissman, Genetic Counselor and so much more, at the Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics.  Statistically we're all carriers for something in the carrier screening space, but also statistically it's very low for both partners to be carriers for the same mutation.  Interestingly, Illinois has specific issues geographically as it borders a number of states that have strict reproductive rights issues, including abortion and family planning.  We did discuss hereditary cancer, including CMMRD, constitutional mismatch repair deficiency.  We also discussed the potential Lynch Syndrome vaccines and how the current backlash against science and vaccinations could be detriments to moving forward.  We did get into socioeconomic issues, not just political and philosophical, but I think we're on a similar page.  Whatever hair we had left is gone.
