Do I WANT to have kids if I might pass on my biological predisposition to depression?Barring any major natural or "man-made" disasters, by the time any future children reach adulthood there will almost certainly be many more highly effective avenues of treatment for depression. The average compentency level of physicians should also be much higher (I hope). Societal ignorance and stigma should be greatly reduced as well. So by all means, go forth and procreate!
