What would you choose if you had the following options? You found the perfect guy/girl 10/10 in every aspect and you are guaranteed an awesome life together. However theres a catch-he/she has a hereditary genetic disorder that everyone in that family dies at the age of 48 and you know about it. You are 18-26 yrs old and He/She is 18-26. The other option is marrying a regular spouse with regular life expectancy. What would you choose?

First, If you are truly in love with someone there handicaps wouldn't matter anyway. If you love someone and you decide that this is your number 1, anything could happen on a day-day routine. Regular expected life? How could you estimate that? A person of perfect health could be shot, hit by a car, have a heart attack because of a tornado, etc and die. You take that risk everyday, that's why you live life to the fullest everyday because you might be here either.

In the words of Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias "I'd rather have 10 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special." So I would have to take the awesome life over the so/so one. I think you would know then to cherish every day, and see the good in things.

Go for it, fact is that regular spouse could die any day. We are all born dying and the moment we pass the process is complete at least we have an idea of what time is on the clock

10/10 is better option. But will that stay as 10/10 after say 3 years.

Life to me is all about fufillment and I would marry that perfect person ... I would rather have 22-30 years of a great marriage/life than 50 years of mediocre marriage/life .... more so if I know that there is one perfect person for me.
Even if she/he passes away and I'm 50 something when that happens.

Then you are not guaranteed a lifetime, only appromimately 20 years. Still you have that 20 years. You can always marry again after you are a widowed. If these were my only options, that's how I would go.

Memories are good company when you are old & lonely.

It relies upon. easily, from time to time i'm at paintings and don't have time to study the solutions earlier posting. i'm curious as to what others say yet from time to time i do not favor others to impression what i favor to jot down/say. from time to time, i will admit, I even do not understand what the question is speaking about and that i must study the solutions to achieve some theory earlier answering. Ocassionally i will see/study the first answer reason it is going to happen to pop up on my exhibit.
