• This means that genetic illnesses, mental illnesses, physical disabilities, cancer, rouge mutations, still-birth, miscarriage, and so forth all go through the roof with each proceeding generation when incest is taking place.

    Not a supporter of incest, but where’s the line crossed really, would you consider not procreating with someone who has disabilities for the fear of them the same?

      That is a very loaded question and dependent on a lot of factors. I cannot give an exact answer as there are to many possible scenarios. For example, would I wish to procreate with someone who is afflicted and has a family history of Huntingtons Disease, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease? Never in a million years, at that point in my opinion it is immoral to have children only to doom them to a very short and miserable life.

      On the other hand, I would have no problem with a partner having a mild autism, depression, anxiety, six fingers or other genetic quirk.

      Plus I do not really consider procreating with a person who has a disability to be in the same category as incest. As incest only increases the odds of everything going wrong by an extreme amount.
