Just because inc3st is "gross" how does being "gross" justify oppressive laws banning it?

Question

there is no scientific evidence suggesting significant risk of negative deffects as a result of mating. Also supposing the psuedoscientific belief that it causes deffects were true, and the couple was gay or used condoms then what excuse would their be?
it is a felony in many states.

PS: this is not in regards to incest between children so don't play the "its to protect the children" card.

By evidence i mean a single scientific study to confirm the belief. I do not consider hersay as vallid sorry. So far the only "evidence" anyone has is completely arbitrary and hypothetical it is not evidence from a scientific standpoint from a sheeple "i want it to be this way" standpoint sure.

the media always says whatever will be the most upsetting, disgusting, or horrifying its extremelly rare for the media to consult science.

So far every bit of "evidence" portains to multiple generations of inbreeding between immediate relatives and is hypothetical at best and thus not valid as evidence.

so basically just because you are against something it should be illegal? (im against you - i hate overbearing controlling rabid sheep - so why aren't you illegal?)

Answer 1

Hmm well I just watched a newscast the other day about a town I believe in northern Arizona. They were a break off of Jesus Christ church of latter day saints. They shun outside visitors (population 10,000) and they generally marry cousins. You see the problem here is they have an extremely high number of genetic problems ( one strain of a mental retardation that is very serious and is more prevalent in this community alone than all the other cases in the world...And not only mental retardation but also blood diseases, fumarase deficiency, heart issues etc. The people have always tried to blame it on the "water" but a doctor recently presented them with the actual evidence that it is themselves inbreeding with their cousins that is causing all these horrid and unnecessary diseases and death sentences to their kids. Anyone who has bred animals would also understand this concept. With billions of people in the world, why would you want to marry someone in your own family tree? Please grow some brains!

Answer 2

Your statement that there is no evidence of higher rate of birth defects in incestuous mating is simply not true. There is a huge increase in negative birth defects. Not only in humans has this been the case, but many species in remote areas have become extinct due to inbreeding. Incestuous mating almost assures birth defects. This is the basis of the law prohibiting it. Saying "it is illegal unless you use condoms" is preposterous, and nearly impossible to enforce. When it comes to homosexual incestuous situations, the law covers that as well partly because the law was made before homosexuality was an open topic in politics, and partly because it is still taboo today. Other issues surrounding homosexuality and law are more important to deal with first these days, such as marraige laws.

Answer 3

here in the UK you can get sent to prison for it-and rightly so. i beleive there has to be something mentally wrong with someone who (especially an adult) regards their sister/brother/mother/father highly in a sexual way. to get someone pregnant who carries the same gene as yourself is an act of extreme foolhardiness. nature has a way of kicking you up the **** in a big way if you mess with her plans-apart from which are there not enough people in the world who are single without you wanting to copulate with your kin??-in the deepest parts of rural america it still goes on-and look how they turned out!!.

Answer 4

To my knowledge, it's not a crime for adult siblings to have sex in any state. However, they won't be allowed to marry.

Also, there's plenty of well established science showing that inbreeding leads to birth defects. Inbreeding leads to damaging recessive genes coming out.

Answer 5

Same with dogs, the chance that the children receive the lil disease's in the family become multiplied when family's mate.

Plus that **** is sick.

Answer 6

Assuming this is a real question, maybe it's because if you thought breaking up with your girlfriend was hard...try breaking up with your sister!

Answer 7

just cause you want to f*ck your sister doesn't mean you should be allowed to. come on dude, what's wrong with you?
