Is incest wrong?
Do you think incest is wrong?
|
i think its fine when its consensual
what is "wrong" anyway?? |
If it's consensual, I say let it happen.
In the case of generational gaps between sexual partners, it may be necessary to first divorce your child/grandchild's other parent/grandparent, because cheating is never good. Royals of the past, and actually people of the past in general often did these sorts of things and humanity doesn't seem to have suffered as a whole. I think we could all survive if Mommy loved more than just Daddy. You wouldn't need to awkwardly meet the SO's distant family members during the wedding. :^) |
Of course incest is wrong. Just because true love may be between someone and their sister doesn't mean it's right it's still fucked up in the end. Especially if they decide to have a children by natural means.
|
I don't think it's wrong at all. If two people who are related fall in love then big deal. As for having kids it could come out with problems in many ways, but the less closely related the two people are the less likely a chance the baby will have problems.
|
For evolutionary reasons, increst is wrong, because it endangers the survival of one's species as constant inbreeding creates defects in its future generations and making them more vulnerable to disease. The #1 priority for a species to survive is to adapt, and you want to practice certain behaviors that would affect your species in a positive way. Incest, unfortunately, does the exact opposite.
|
Sure, but wouldn't it require a large majority of the populace to be incestuous for that to have a legitimate impact?
|
Lots of ifs and buts here. Incestuous relationships/marriages between distant cousins are not exactly 'my thing', but they're generally exempt from the discussion because they're mostly free of coercion/abuse or genetic defects if they choose to procreate. Not entirely, but to a degree where it is... tolerable.
The main issue lies within direct family members. Genetic possibilities aside, the other main reason incest is outlawed is because it is very rarely consensual within immediate family members. It's a common factor in child sex abuse and/or molestation within the family. Sometimes it is not so graphic, but consensual incest often lies in psychological conditioning. Consent under coercion and/or abuse are hardly what I would call agreeable circumstances. There are naturally going to be cases that are, all things considered, healthy. But they are few and far. This is without considering the possible outcome of their procreation. You can be as liberal as you wish in a theoretical discussion about incest, but the reality is that it is not so simple. I think the social and legal taboo is more than justified. |
Inbred children are a legitimate impact unto themselves. The risk of a life-threatening genetic disorder is very high. The prevention of inbreeding supports banning incest.

If the concern is about inbreeding, then, what do you guys think about same-sex incest between consenting partners?

I still think that incest is bad. I may sound like someone who's stuck in the past but I personally think that incest is wrong.

I guess it's mostly a matter of the mores of a society that decides whether incest is okay or not. |
Do I think it's fucked up? Yes. Wrong? Not sure. I mean, animals fuck family soooo. I think it really all comes down to how you were raised.

I would like to note, before we continue, that this is the most logically speaking community I've seen on such issues in a long time. I earnestly did not expect to find a Pokemon website capable of talking maturely and professionally about topics like this. There have been few emotional rampages, and the credentials of the subject are being laid out in a reasonable way. Kudos to you guys. |

Sorry you guy's had to witness that, I'm just trying to make a point. |

I think its pretty screwed up, but I do not know if I can prove its immorality. The questions is whether or not the baby has force initiated against it.

Anyways, back on topic. Quote:
In Connecticut, "sexual intercourse" is taken to mean oral, vaginal, and anal sex. But "incest" is taken to mean relative marriage. Apparently sexual relations between relatives is not criminalized. *shrug* |
I have this feeling that this thread was made as a joke (and one fueled by salt) rather than to have a legitimate discussion, and with several members in on the joke. Please tell me I'm wrong.

I think it's a great window into what the legal world is all about, and hopefully that those who participate in the discussion will come out with a greater respect for the challenges that legal systems tries to address every day. |
