Opinions: My bi-polar sister wants to have my baby.

Let me explain. I have a hard time getting pregnant. It took 4 years and a heck of a lot of meds to get my son, now 8. Since his birth we have been trying to conceive, with no results.

My sister, who is fertile Mertile with 3 of her own, has offered to conceive and have my husbands baby for me. Her egg, her womb, her pregnancy.

I am so tempted to do this, but she is bi-polar which scares me. I know it runs in families, we have the same mom, but different dads. They say there is a 20% chance that the kid will have the disorder when it hits early 20's and I have the same risk factor since I think my mom may have been bi-polar. So in my mind, I am thinking my egg or hers has the same risk factor. We look alike, and all her kids look like my son (except darker, she married a hispanic man).

What would you do?

I have a bi polar child...it is very dificult. Think long and hard about this. Bi polar is definately hereditary. My mother was bi polar.

Just goes to show we have come along way, because that is something generally that isn't said anymore, but we still have far to go. It was easier for white ethnic groups to assimilate into main stream, because well they were/are white. Someday I hope that race/color will no longer be an issue for all.

But then the Roman Catholics will still fight the Protestants as in Belfast Northern Ireland, the Shiites will still fight the Sunnis as in Iraq and the Tutsi will still fight the Hutu as in Rwanda.

We fight using religion or color as the excuse, but it is all about power and money.

Very very true. I think that most of us never think of those situations, we only look in our back yard. Sad! I am at fault for this one as well. But my focus is here. We can not help anyone else until we can help ourselves.
