MS (multiple sclerosis) cannot be passed by sexual contact..MS is caused by a glitch in the genes. some say it may be caused by infection that trigers it, but not the direct cause(actully no one really knows the exact cause).. so yes, there would be a greater possibility that her baby will have MS..neurons, our brain cells, are somewhat like wires with electricity passing through them.. these electrical impulses passes from neuron to neuron.. now, there are specialized cells that insulate the neuron, to prevent grounding and loss of the electrical impulse. now in people affected with MS, a having a glitch in their genes , destroys these insulation.. which end result in, grounding of impulses- incorrect target stimulation of these impulse, such as muscles surrounding-the tremors the person affected is having..__________________________________________ in the end.. if you are marrying a person affected with MS.. generally you wont get infected.. however there is a more deeper problem.. a question of ethical values.. of love.. will you still love a person affected with MS? will you marry a person affected with MS, knowing the risks of passing the genes to your baby? will you abort a baby knowing that he may be inflicted with MS too?all i can advise is to love.. and love the person you love.. not the condition he/she has.. and pray to God.. He only knows what the disease is exactly..
