No way in hell would I have the kid. I get cold sores about twice a year and during each outbreak I feel suicidal. Everyone in my family gets cold sores regularly. I will be forever frustrated with my relatives for kissing me when I was young and passing the virus on to me, especially since everyone in my family shows the symptoms on a somewhat regular basis.
That said, I could not imagine having so much permanently wrong with my skin, hair, eyes, teeth and nails. I think looks are very important and one should be able to take pride in their physical appearance. I don't think it would be much fun having a child that is deformed and quite possibly eternally depressed about his existence.
