ask her/him how they feel about it and tell them how many other people have it to :)
No. Epilepsy is not contagious. You cannot catch epilepsy from anybody.
Epilepsy is not a fatal condition. Unless your friend has a very severe form, there is little risk of it killing her. The vast majority of people with Epilepsy live very normal lives.

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. An fine and safe source of information can be found at epilepsyfoundation.org Best wishes to your friend and his new baby.

Some epilepsy cannot be killed off. There is no drug that you can say would have a mximum dose to do that. There are a wide variety of forms and severity of epilepsy. It is not a single condition with a single way of treating it. There are many different drugs used for epilepsy and their purpose is to control rather than cure epilepsy.
There are many reasons and causes of epilepsy, so it is not really possible to say what can be done to avoid it. It isn't like an infectious disease that you can get vaccinated against. Only about 1 in every 200 people have some form of epilepsy. Something like a head injury can result in epilepsy, so you could say that trying to avoid getting any sort of a serious head injury in your lifetime is one way or trying to avoid getting epilepsy.

Epilepsy is not necessarily a genetic condition. It is not infectious either. If there is no family history prior to a particular individual having epilepsy, there is nothing to say that it will be passed down. Epilepsy has a wide range of causes. You would need to know what the specific causes are before you could say anything. Epilepsy can be unique to a family member. It is generally a physical condition. A parent having a broken arm is not likely to have a child with a broken arm born to them. So unless there is a definite family history, it is unlikely that a parent having epilepsy would pass it on. Talk to your doctor.
White, i would think Actually, it is purple (some say lavendar) and is worn annually on March 26 to globally support and spread epilepsy awareness.
Generally, not eating much is not good for your health. It is not a good thing to do, and for someone who has epilepsy, they need to live healthy lifestyles. That is not to say that fasting will cause seizures.
