If you rush the decision you can make things worse. What if you find out you have the condition and haven't even properly dealt with just the thought of having it? How is that going to be helpful to Amy or any of his new born children? Finding out the result is not the right decision for everyone and should be treated as such. They can't prevent the condition and its very difficult to accurately predict when someone will develop symptoms, so if it's a positive result it can be more unbearable for some people than not knowing at all. It should also be possible for Amy to get tested even if Steve doesn't if Tracy is so keen to know if Amy has it.
