I don't think I have the right to judge other people as long as they actually love each other and are of age. At least with incest you don't get a mother-in-law :D
Oh, and I think I remember hearing somewhere that people back then marrying close relatives for financial gain. |
Who knew that PC was such a hub for casual eugenists? :o
I kind of really wish this thread was in Other Chat so we could have a for real debate, but whatever. |
Laws against this exist primarily to protect children... at least, that's the way I see it. Though laws should be modified to be similar to statutory rape laws, since incest wasn't considered to include first- and second- cousins until the last 100 years.

It's not good. Especially the chances of having a genetic disease, dominant or recessive, will rise.

You know, just a thought. But don't we all technically come from extremely limited gene pools?
Say you're religious, and you believe that Adam and Eve were the first two humans. We then all descended from them, so early on there had to have been some sort of incestuous breeding going on. Same thing if you subscribe to evolution. Early on there would have to have been a lot of inbreeding. I could be completely wrong though... So do correct me if that's the case. As for me... It's not something I'm into. But I'm not going to judge others for what they want to do. I'm bisexual myself, so I understand what it's like to be a minority and have laws made to prohibit who you are... Now, it's one thing if anything is done without permission, but consenting adults... come on now. I do, however, think there should be some sort of law regarding conception. I'm not quite sure how that would work, but it would be best to try and prevent children from that sort of relationship because of the potential mutations. |
Let's all be honest - 150 years ago, you wouldn't care if your best friend started _____ his sister.

Haven't read the Old Testament so I can't provide the fundamentalist view, but I think most believers just hold that God actually created more people after Adam and Eve in order to populate the world. It's all very vague and open to interpretation anyway. |

If you didn't understand that; Our brothers, the Neanderthals, were very accustomed to Europe. They were very strong, and they had a larger ribcage (along with small pelvic bone). This larger ribcage helped them breath during the winter and helped preserve heat. Humans on the other hand were considerably weaker and had smaller ribcages, but we had a larger pelvic bone which enabled us to run. Our running is what branced us off from the other Homos, our brothers, and helped our species survive. |
But isn't like incesisn totally against the idea of evolution... That is a reason enough imo, coupled with genetic diseases, I see no point.
Even the idea of a relationship b/w cousins is sick, but then its still better than brother and sister. But then again, there is a high possibility that the one you are marrying is your cousin anyway, especially if your parents (there are countries where orthodox beliefs still exist) want to get you married in the same race (and same caste as in india) And nowadays since there isn't really anyone from a pure race or caste, it is likely you might be marrying your cousin anyway :P And if you have studied high school biology, we all do have a common ancestor, and so do monkeys... So we all are in fact cousins O.o |

If they signed an agreement to commit to not having children then as long as the two were also consenting then I'd be fine with it. However you couldn't truly enforce a no-conception policy without requiring the partners to have a vasectomy/tubal ligation, and forcing them to do this would be highly questionable. |
If wanting to sleep with your best friend's (whom you consider a sister) brother is incest, then I think it's wonderful. =3 I not, ewww! >< Seriously, WTF? =/ I can't believe anyone could find any of their relatives sexually attractive. X.x Thinking they're handsome/pretty is one thing, but being aroused by them is another. |
Incest? Moar liek Wincest amirite? If its like..cute...twin girls of legal consensual age? I'm okay with this ;D

Seriously couldn't have put it better myself, 'Zam. xD Yeah, I think everyone's entitled to their own views and choices in life as long as they're not violating basic human rights. I, personally, would never want to be involved in any kind of incest, but with that said, a topic like this is extremely subjective and controversial; everyone you ask will probably give a different opinion on it. |
You don't need to be the product of incest to get four toes, six fingers and half an eye. If people wanted their offsprings to have shallower gene pools, I can't do anything about that anyway, so why bother?
|
I think it's wrong for several reasons, many of which are obvious. >< Any relationship closer than first cousins is just plain wrong.
|
Gross!
I think pedophilia is less grosser than this! |

More than half of you in this thread wouldn't think twice about it if we were in the nineteenth century.

If we were in the age of those people, half of your friends would be having incestuous relationships and you'd dive straight into anything. It's frowned upon now, so you wouldn't. |
Creepy. And I don't want my relatices to be deformed. : \
