I agree with The_Jazz. She wants to have kids, the "normal" way, without the threat of having a child with a disability over her head. She doesn't like you enough to abdicate that, and consider tougher and more altruistic options such as adoption or sperm from someone else. I wouldn't condemn her, but I don't think it's a particularly nice reason to break up with someone. Let her go if that's what she wants.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
