Leukemia is that way. A patient does not need to know paternity. He/she does not need to know that from birth he was doomed to have something dreadful like leukemia. He/she has it and that's all that matters.

But if there is any good news at all, it is that the answer to "how many" is good enough.

The alternative is death.
