But back then our fore father's don't have time to check all this things and there were happily married and giving birth to numerous healthy children is it that things have changed since then or what's wrong your opinions is recommended

Nothing has really changed, this genotype of a thing is mostly done by people who have acquired some certain level of education in the society and they think it's necessary for them to do this genotype. If you check through the African society today many people are still getting married without any genotype testing and yet they are producing healthy children. For me as an educated person I did went for genotype test with my partner for us to be sure of things so we can avoid certain things that may happen in the future.

The thing is that in the olden days people didn’t bother with genotype tests and many still lived fine through life. But at the same time, we can’t ignore that some children suffered from sickle cell and other related health issues, only that it was not widely understood back then. but at least education has just made us more aware of the risks so we can prevent future pains. It doesn’t mean love or marriage didn’t work without the test, but now that science has given us the chance to know better!! I think it is kind of wise to use it to our advantage. Prevention is always better than cure!! especially when it comes to children’s health!! Besides no one will like to spend his or her hard earn money on something that can be entirely avoided from the beginning stage.
