‘I'm child-free so I don't pass on rare genetic condition - trolls say I will never know true love’
A woman who has chosen to stay child-free so she doesn't pass on a rare genetic condition says trolls tell her she will never know ‘true love’ unless she has a child.
Sophie Power, 33, and her husband, Joe, 33, decided not to have children because they would have an increased risk of developing cancer.
Sophie was born with Li Fraumeni syndrome - a rare genetic condition that increases her risk of the disease. She has had cancer twice - surviving neuroblastoma aged five and breast cancer just last year.
Sophie, who works in PR, from Telford, Shropshire, said: "I’ve always joked that one of the most attractive things that my now-husband said when we first met was that he didn't want kids. “We got told once that you can’t know true love until you've had your own child.
