Love & Genotype: 5 Ways AS, SS Couples Can Get Married

5 Ways AS and SS Genotype Couples Can Get Married | Fab.ng

Thinking about having kids and health? In many places, people think about their genetic makeup (genotype) when choosing a partner. This is because some combinations of genotypes can increase the chance of having children with certain health conditions, like sickle cell anaemia.

But should you only marry someone with the same genotype as you? Not necessarily! While genotypes matter, many other things contribute to a happy and healthy relationship. It’s important to choose someone you love and connect with.

One would ask, “What if you and your partner both have certain genotypes that are not acceptable?” If you’re concerned about your genotypes and having children, you can talk to a doctor or genetic counsellor. They can explain your options and help you make informed decisions about your future together.

Remember:

  • Everyone deserves to love and be loved, regardless of their genotype.
  • There are always things you can do to learn more and prepare for the future.
  • The most important thing is to make decisions that are right for you and your partner.

But regarding this genotype issue, especially the AS and SS genotypes, we would go deeper on how you can go ahead with your partner and still avoid having children with sickle cell anaemia. Keep reading.

Tube tying, also known as tubal ligation, is a surgical operation used in women to permanently prevent conception by closing or cutting the fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus.

This inhibits eggs from travelling to the uterus and being fertilised by sperm. It has a 99.9% success rate and will prevent any child from being born.

If you want kids, you can always adopt. Many orphaned children long for the love and support of a caring family. Family is not just based on blood but also on affection.

If you are both AS and SS, you can adopt a child or children and raise them as you would. However, you should go through the official adoption process.

With a vasectomy, you can have enjoyable sex without worrying about having a child. A vasectomy is a surgical operation for males that permanently prevents conception by blocking or cutting the vas deferens, which transports sperm from the testicles to the urethra. This ensures that sperm and semen do not mingle. Sperm is expelled during orgasm.

Surrogacy is a procedure in which a surrogate bears a pregnancy for the intended parents, allowing those who have difficulty conceiving to have families. There are two basic types of surrogacy: gestational and conventional.

In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate has no genetic relationship to the baby. Traditional (conventional) surrogacy, which is less prevalent, involves the surrogate’s egg being fertilised by the intended father’s (or donor’s) sperm, resulting in the surrogate being genetically connected to the child.

In Nigeria, surrogacy contracts and agreements remain enforceable even without a law or statute backing them up.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in which an egg is fertilised outside the body and the resulting embryo is implanted into the uterus to become pregnant.

Individuals or couples with the same genotype who are unable to give birth naturally may benefit from this technique.

"Stop Pitting Me Against My Friends" – BNXN Warns Fans

Nigerian music star BNXN is putting a stop to online comparisons. Influencer-fueled debates about who the better singer is, BNXN or Ayra Starr, recently took social media by storm. But BNXN isn’t here for it. On May 13th, 2024, he took a stand on his social media platform, urging fans to ditch the comparisons and appreciate artists for their individual talents.

BNXN is a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry.

He is renowned for his music, and he’s consistently impressed audiences since bursting onto the scene. This isn’t the first time BNXN has encountered online comparisons. He clearly remembers the public feud with fellow singer Ruger that erupted after similar comparisons on social media.

Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, and BNXN and Ruger ended their disagreement. They even collaborated on a successful EP titled “RnB,” featuring hits like “Romeo Must Die” and “Ilashe.” This proved that collaboration can be much more fruitful than competition.

BNXN and Rugar

Meanwhile, Ayra Starr seems unfazed by the online noise.

She’s laser-focused on the upcoming release of her highly anticipated sophomore album, “The Year I Turned 21,” expected to drop this May.

The Grammy-nominated artist recently unveiled “No Bad Vibe,” featuring Seyi Vibez, as the album’s lead single. But that’s not all! The full project boasts an impressive lineup of guest appearances, including Asake, Giveon, Coco Jones, Anitta, and even her brother Milar. This star-studded collaboration hints at the diversity fans can expect from the album.

So, it’s clear that both BNXN and Ayra Starr are prioritising making music for their fans, not getting caught up in online comparisons. Their dedication to their craft is evident, and their talent deserves to be celebrated individually.

Let’s appreciate their unique styles and contributions to the Nigerian music scene, and keep an eye out for the release of Ayra Starr’s album; it’s bound to be a smash.
