Oh I know what you are getting at and I disagree.

I can argue what ever I like and I don't need permission to do so, there is always a link in everything we every step we take paves the way for the next , every acceptance we make both good and bad takes us one step closer to the next and the question is where do we draw the line , if brother sister is ok , why it's father daughter or mother son or even uncle niece or aunty and nephew is there really any difference if so what, then if all that is ok then why not lower the age of consent to 16 let's face it there active at that age anyway , so if 16 ok let's face it some are active at 14 do we drop the age to that and if we are dropping the age to 14 why can't they get married at 14 it's culturally excepted in many countries so why not, who gets to draw the line in the sand.


I throw over to you 4 who seam to openly oppose every thing I posts any way , fire away

They are half sister and half brother...................... further removed than full brother and sister.

It is a bit yuk for me to think about...... but I wonder what the circumstances were, did they know?

I think it's very far removed homosexuality and gay marriage though.

Christopher Robim Milne married his cousin, Lesley deSelincourt, and their daughter, Clare suffered from cerebral palsey. Whether it was because of the close genetic relationship between her parents I don't know.

In your mind it may well be well removed but in the mind of those down the line it's not they don't see it as that different , so my question is again who gets to draw the line is it you based on your view , is it me on mine , is it them on theirs , is it a committee based on their collective view and if so who chooses that committee as the out come would be vastly different if it was made up of fundamental Christians or islamics to that of atheists and homosexuals

Isn't cerebral palsy an  injury before, during or after birth?

I don't want to draw any lines.

I am not the world police.................... who people choose as their partner in life is not my business, so long as it is legal and moral................... as a population, that is determined by the majority.

Only about 2% of cerebral palsy is genetic.

I don't know, Az I don't have any personal experience with it.If you're right then of course it has absolutely nothing to do with the parents being cousins.

If there are genetic issues in a family then obviously cousins marrying could increase the chances of passing on disabilities.
