Supplication for a sick daughter is answered, and cutting off procreation is forbidden except in cases of necessity. The fear of giving birth to another afflicted daughter is not considered a necessity. However, it is permissible to temporarily postpone procreation out of need, such as the need to care for the sick daughter.
