Should some forms of incest be legalised? [ENDS 25/07/2010]

[Pyroka]

This topic has actually made my day.

I dont think any form of incest should be allowed, I mean if its someone who wants to do their cousins then sure live and let live but not blood related cousins hell no. I PERSONALLY wouldnt touch either of my cousins with a ten foot pole but im not gonna judge someone who does it.

if you **** your sister/mum/dad/uncle/auntie/blood relative then you have something wrong with u and should live in a place like tiverton (only devon folk will get that)

no, not at all, because it's a health risk to any born children.

it's weird too but that isn't really a good reason to bad it.

Because it changes the relationship and mindsets between the two family members engaged in sexual activity, I think incest should not, and never be allowed.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I think it should be allowed provided people are of age and able to make that choice for themselves. To me, what goes on in the bedroom is not my business or the business of the state either. It may carry small health risks but the fact is we all mostly share genes as it is and also we do not disallow those with a history of family genetic diseases to have a child so this should not be any different.

I think you have to look past the 'ee thats wrong' part, many things that go on between people may not be to our taste but it is none of our business either what goes on behind closed doors. The same was said (and can still be said) about homosexuality - you may not like the idea of gay sex but it is none of your business nor that of the state what people do in their bedrooms, this of course can be extended to many weird fetishes that are around.

hey our genes are very very similar to apes and mice but i'm not going to go **** one, if a guy was to do that would you still being saying "it is none of your business nor that of the state what people do in their bedrooms"?. why's it wrong?

it's the same debate, you can call my point invalid but ask yourself why bestiality is wrong. how many people would willingly say it's fine? the only answer you'll hear is "it's disgusting, it's wrong, it's rape". it's the same with the view of incest. you can argue that incest may be consented and should be right if they both agree to it but that's not always the case. most of those sibling and even parent/child couples you hear of have been separated at an early age and once they're back together they feel a stronger bond. in my view, they're just confused and it's not healthy at all.
sure, it was once seen as okay years ago yes but so was slavery. okay that was the best i could think of damn:@

and actually no-one has the same genes. guys and girls have at least 80 different ones and the ones they share are different alleles serving different purposes.
i thought we were meant to be unconsciously attracted to people with different genes to ensure a balance and therefore healthier offspring so it's not "low-risk" health risks at all lol, that incest german couple (the ones who met after years apart - refer to what i said about that), 2 out of 4 of their kids are disabled

i would love to find a guy who treats me like my eldest brother does - not incest - just the same as a lot of hetrosexual guys look for girls like their mothers but the thought of a sexual relationship with him repulses me.

i'm just really against it for some reason, maybe it's in my genes i respect that times are changing and there are good arguments for why it's not all that bad but i personally find it revolting. sorry...

No that's ******* disgusting, any form of close relation 2nd cousin etc should be class as incest maybe 3rd cousin is okay but personally I wouldn't.


No it should not be legalised.

[kuzkasate]

In some countries it's completely legal, if you were from one of them countries you would agree on it too...
And you would marry some-one for money? O.o Wtf Jen.

I would marry anyone for money tbh.

Anyway, I think its completely wrong. You will probably ruin the relationship with families, theres no reason as to why its wrong, its just simply vile.

I probs wouldn't be too against the relation highlighted in bold, I don't have one, so i'm not sure what they are called.

Me > My Mum > Her Brother > His Wife > Her Daughter from a previous marriage

Because they arn't related to me, in ANY way.
