(nods) Yeah, that’s tricky. I’d be tempted to ask how she would feel about a prenup that specified a forcible divorce if she was diagnosed, but that would mostly just be a joke in bad taste.
Maybe there are third-party sources of information she could point potential suitors to?
She might not find the joke in bad taste. I am not sure what youmean by third-party sources, though. She has a sister with a wildly different opinion on the matter (‘ah well, it’s not like anybody’s free from deleterious alleles, so my kid might obtain worse from my husband, but we still are going to have one’) and she knows marriage != procreation for many men, but… She’s still ‘morally obliged’ to stay with her parents until the end.
By third-party sources I mean, like, if the AMA or APA has a brochure entitled “So Your Spouse Is Schizophrenic… What Now?” Something that would provide potential suitors with the relevant facts without her having to explain it all (yet again).

Thank you. I’ll look it up and talk to her. At worst, she’ll laugh.
