If not, there is no reason why not.
If your friend has epilepsy whether his upcoming child will also get epileptic or not?
There are many causes of epilepsy and whether your friend's child has a higher risk of developing it depends on the history of the parent's seizure disorder. Did your friend have epilepsy since birth? Did his parents or siblings have seizures? If that is the case then the child may have a slightly higher chance of developing epilepsy. But if the seizures of the parent started as a result of a head injury, a severe illness like encephalitus or menengitus, or due to some other insult to the brain, the baby will have no higher chance of developing epilepsy than any other child. Even if the parent was born with epilepsy, there is still a high probability that the baby will be fine.
