Boozer

This child had sickle cell he ha a very low chance of surviving if his parents had not taken the actions that the child would have died.Boozer playing in the NBA and his wife and child are living in Miami, being so far away it was rough on Boozer every game every practice he carried fear with him. In order to get treated they would have to find a suitable donor for a bone marrow transplant, but know one they could find was a match the closest they could get was a brother but in order for that to happen then they would have to take the risk of another child with sickle cell. So instead they have embryos take and looked at for testing to see which ones had sickle cell. 10 of the 26 had sickle cell and those were destroyed. Those embryos died but they would have suffered like him.  They were using technology to their advantage. They had two more kids because they need the transplant. They know have 3 healthy young boys.
