Alien Being Posted January 29, 2010 #27 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Well that would indicate that reproducing through incest should be illegal and not the sex itself(ie. have to use protection) Should other people who may pass on genetic abnormalities also be banned from having sex/reproducing? For example lets use dwarfism, a condition that has many negative health and development aspects, and if between two dwarfs would almost certainly produce another dwarf. Of course its a 'duh of course, who cares' type of deal as it has no bearing on 99.99% of the populace but it is still interesting that something can be made illegal with relatively little reason to support its banning.

danielost Posted January 29, 2010 #34 Share Posted January 29, 2010 How is it a religious taboo? It's the Old Testament full of incest? Anyway good that France finally has this in the books. One only needs to look at royal families through history to see that incest is a bad idea. incest in immediate family members, ie father, son, daughter, mother, sister, brother, are against the bible. further mother daughter sharing the same boyfriend at the sametime or have sex with him at the sametime not real sure about which of those two cases fit.

Erm no the Bible believe it or not isnt against incest. In fact if you read it you may be surprised at just how much incest is in it. Also may I point out Adam and Eve produced only sons so they must have sleep with their mother to produce the next generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also may I point out Adam and Eve produced only sons so they must have sleep with their mother to produce the next generation. wrong in the case of adam and eve. the bible does in fact state that adam and eve had many sons and daughters. it just only names three. in the case of incest, the law of moses which came much later than the cases you try to make, outlaws incest just as i stated. further it states no sex between men period. and except for the incest cases above it does not say anything about woman on *spam filter*.

eqgumby Posted February 1, 2010 #37 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ugh. You morons are changing the topic completely in a random direction. Incest = Bad for society (the people in the society). Period. There is no good side. I don't care what anyone says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds Posted February 1, 2010 #39 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm suprised there is a single person on here arguing for the the side saying it should be allowed to stay legal. Whether it be the argument; 'the government shouldn't make social or religious taboo's illegal, because they shouldn't butt in' or not. Because in this case yes, yes they should. Imagine being born into this world to find out your father is also your brother, or your mother is also your sister, etc, etc. How on earth would you be raised to be well adjusted in any sense of the word? There is no reason for this to be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean really. the argument COULD be made that it shouldn't be illegal. The "royal" families did it to some degree for centuries (cousins and such). But in modern society, with our understanding of genetics, and the ways in which incest USUALLY occurs, it makes sense to make this taboo illegal. Makes social sense, not necessarily legal sense.

The "royal" families did it to some degree for centuries (cousins and such). But in modern society, with our understanding of genetics, and the ways in which incest USUALLY occurs, it makes sense to make this taboo illegal. And yet, the general understanding of incest isn't much better than it was back in the old days. In some ways, it may even be worse. While we understand from a genetic stand-point that families can interbreed for centuries with little problem save the occasional extra finger, the average opinion is such that supported such movies as "The Hills have Eyes" and "Wrong Turn". At least the ancient societies didn't believe that marrying your sister resulted in cannibalistic grotesqueries. So we can't really say that our knowledge, either the scientific version or the popular version, supports making it illegal. Similarly, the point was made before that existing genetic issues which are transferred to children, such as dwarfism, are not under the gun either. if you have one genetic issue that results in immediate consequences for the child, and another genetic issue that is unlikely to even show up for three or four generations down the line, if that, it makes little sense to ignore the immediate danger and make illegal the other. When all is said and done, it seems like the only purpose for supporting this law is that it makes people feel "icky" about other people. There are plenty of things that make people feel uncomfortable, such as homosexual relationships, but that is hardly a reason to make something illegal.
