The odds of any pair of potential offspring of mine having many genes in common due to having inherited them from myself the same way both times are pretty damned high.

The odds of them inheriting single copies of recessive alleles that would be potentially REALLY nasty if expressed in a homozygous pair but which several generations of my family have carried around harmlessly... is also moderately high.

The odds of the copies of such alleles shared by each of them both being inherited by any offspring between them, producing a really nasty homozygous pair, resulting in deformities or fatality... is about 1/4 .... for each nasty involved.



That said.... if I had kids that for some unfathomable reason wanted to commit incest and take that risk.... provided they were old enough.... that'd be their own silly problem. Generally though, we do have inbuilt chemical defenses against inbreeding..... so I doubt it would become an issue.

this is such a messed up question...why on earth would you want to know something like this? if its a case of the end of the human race if they didnt have a child together then the answer is still no...the child would be disabled and malformed and wouldnt be exactly carrying on the human race after a while of inbreeding as it wouldnt be much 'human' anymore would it? 'Inhumain' is the word that comes to mind when I think of the offspring of a brother & sister actually.
If we die out then we die out, end of story, it'll be our own faults anyway for messing up the earth
I'm not even sure if this is why you're asking such a question...more explanation maybe??

I think you are trying to get at Adam And Eve. They could have produced children, some of which were genetically close and others genetically very different. Cain would have married his sister.

Note since the fall and pollution to the environment, our genetic heritage has been corrupted. Siblings are more likely to carry the same recess ant gene and hence pass on a birth defect.

A very incesting question. You are either stupid or simple.

This used to go on in many countries in the middle east until the christian/muslim religions put a stop to it. It was usually cousins that had the children although on occassion it was between siblings. However it was recognised that genetic abnormalities usually resulted and its been many centuries since this ceased.

No. The genes are too corrupt. We've been living in sin for too long. In Adam and Eve's day this was possible, but not today. If this was allowed today, my grandbaby would be deformed or afflicted. Continual sin corrupts generations to a greater degree.

lol! Hook, line, and sinker. The funniest part is, most of the fish don't even know they've been caught. The few that do can only thrash around in their sea of retarded logic hoping for the line to break.

No according to the Bible ( perhaps you are refering to Adam and Eve , in that case they were the first humans ever created so they had no other choice to populate the planet ) but even non religious people call it incest or have other reasons for it ( such as deformity , etc )

No. Not only because of the current social stigma but also because of the high rate of mortality and fetal irregularity.

I know this comes as of a shock to some, but this is not an old testament world we live in.

Thats incest.

incest is not okay. Incest is the sexual relations between family members either by birth or marriage. God has forbidden this in the Bible.

Lev. 20:11-12, "If there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 12 ‘If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
Lev. 20:19-21, "You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his blood relative; they shall bear their guilt. 20 ‘If there is a man who lies with his uncle’s wife he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall bear their sin. They shall die childless. 21 ‘If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless."


But some may point out that Adam and Eve had children and since there were no other people around, their children would have had to commit incest in order to produce more children. At the time of creation, the genetic line was pure. It wasn't until later, at the time of Moses, that incest was then forbidden as the genetic pool became less and less able to stand interbreeding. "‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD," (Lev. 18:6).
