Is separating from one's husband with the intention of conceiving a child with another man, given the existence of disabled children from the current marriage and the death of two of them, considered a sound action, especially after the diagnosis of a genetic problem that prevents healthy procreation between the spouses, and what is the most appropriate course of action in this situation?

Even if the initial prognosis was incorrect, as long as the matter is by mutual consent, there is no impediment.
