The only thing we can be pretty sure of is that this revelation will disrupt your family relationships. You will indeed have to explain to your sibling why you have kept this to yourself for all those decades. Your sibling might become permanently estranged from your parent.

Is it ethical to create children who’d face a higher likelihood of losing their father while they’re still young, and who may themselves inherit family health issues?
