If you were not born with this condition then you will not develop it during your life. The condition is generally inherited as it is a genetic mutation. However, it is possible that the mutation could spontaneously happen in any baby.

Why do fatal genes have to be recessive?

Because if they are dominant, then even one copy present in the organism would mean that the organism will be killed by the generic error (because they are fatal). Thus to be passed on they have to be recessive - in other words if an individual has a good copy and a bad copy (genes are paired - one from the mother and one from the father) the good copy must be dominant for the individual to survive.
