Is not that something which is done only in African countries, so couples can be sure their children won't suffer from adnormalities on their red cells?
This is something which is pretty much unheard of in the American continent, I have never had my blood examined when I have a girlfriend and I have never even suggested any of my girlfriends to get tested to know their genotypes...
It must be kind of weird to live in a society where people pays such amount of attention to genetics of other people. Again, it is something which is not common here.
What?
Do you mean that you haven't tested to know your genotype? and even people around you are not so scared of it?
Who knows if this genotype of a thing was another propaganda brought to Africans to weaken us.
Regarding the question of OP. Our forefathers had solutions to every problems and including the genotype related ones. But they made us forget about their solutions and embraced and believed nonsense.
