Should Incest Between Consenting Adults be Legalized

[breadisfunny]

I mean, you seem to think the inbreeding = bad problems, always!

That's not the case. You can do so with it by not doing it correctly, which happens when people are breeding for money or just "lolz keep it in the family only" for themselves.

Which, again, would be abuse in the later case, which has nothing to do with what would be consenting adults (ie, found each other in adulthood, without knowing of their relationship / learning afterwards), and would not repeat itself through generations to cause a problem.

one generation won't get deformed children at a much higher rate than any other random couple. period.

science has proven you wrong.

Although, i am also against homosexual relationships as well.

What's wrong with homosexual relationships? Do you find girl on girl porn repulsive too, or is it predominately the male avenue of homosexuality that you have an issue with?

I feel like it's been done anyways I took a visit over to /r/incest and plenty of people are at it, I would have heavy penalty's for pregnancy's resulting and mandatory abortions to follow tho, I know that sounds harsh but its for the children as much as anything.

My only concern is that by saying this is "ok" we would see a rise in children been abused, tho ofc that is also still going to happen regardless. But in principle I dont really care as long as children are not created by it or abused because of it.

Then your comment should be directed at 'old' people [50+] having children, people with genetic disorders (such as Downs, Dwarfism, etc) from having children, etc. etc. etc. as well.

If not, then you're a hypocrite and asking for double standards... since they all result with a higher chance of children with genetic disorders, not just through incest.

Personally I believe sex should be between a married man and woman only. However, I don't really care what is legalized nowadays. It's only a matter of time before people are marrying their pets.

It's illegal? Well I'm a criminal

You're both wrong. And right. But wrong.

There's certain genetic disorders where susceptibility is exponentially compounded with each incestuous generation.

So if one or both of an incestuous couple has the gene causing the predisposition then you end up with a greatly increased chance of that genetic disorder expressing itself in the offpsring. (Like absurdly high, in the 25-50% range)

However if neither parent has the gene, there's a 0% chance of that disorder expressing itself.

So screened incestuous breeding could actually eliminate a lot of genetic disorders. However that would require ridiculous amounts of randomly testing people, and then how would somebody react. "Congratulations, you are a non carrier of the blah blah blah gene, and so is your mother, so you are now legally forced to conceive a child with her."

So I mean you know.. Eugenics...never ethical, even if it's beneficial.

The exact same thing could happen with a random couple as well, though. Which was my entire point with that paragraph.

If it's not there, it won't express itself. It being there and no one knowing is as likely as it being there in any other couple (example; my aunt and uncle are both carriers for microcephaly [or something that expresses itself in that matter, i don't know what disease it is exactly]). Not related to each other. An incesteous couple would be more likely to have healthy children than they would.

I think it is immoral (if the intention is a child) to endanger a kid's chances of survival and a happy life due to birth defects, but then I was reminded a list of people who can totally have sex.

People with aids
people with downs syndrome
crack addicts
Donald trump


So whatever, fuck whoever you want. I'm gonna keep fucking my unrelated significant other and hopefully we'll have a happy kid.

This is kind of the way I see it. I mean if it's perfectly ok for people with defects and diseases of their own (and Donald Trump) to be having sex why not a perfectly healthy (maybe not healthy in the head but in general) brother and sister? I mean don't get me wrong I think it's totally wrong and weird as shit to be doing this but hey it's not my life. First of all I think ANY law that restricts the way people live their life is wrong. You want to do cocaine, fine. Gay marriage? Sure, why not? You want to have sex with your sibling, have fun. One way or another people are going to do these things anyway so what is the point of the law? This is how people live their life and if their happy with this lifestyle who are we to say otherwise? It doesn't affect me so why should I care if a brother and sister want to fuck each other? If you ask me, again, I will say it's wrong but that's me.
