He added: “The reason the practice is so common is that ordinary people see family inter-marriage overall as something that is very positive, something that helps build family bonds and helps put families on a more secure financial foothold.

    Why are we telling consenting adults whether or not they can fuck other consenting adults?

      Seriously. It takes generations for bad things to happen to the genes. You could ban them from having children together and that would theoretically solve the issue.

      I just don’t see why people are acting like this is a massive issue.

    • It’s like many forms of incest, there’s typically a power dynamic that results in a victim. Not to mention, society pays the price of covering children born at a higher risk of genetic disorders. Morally, there’s nothing wrong with two consenting adults getting it on, practically, it’s rarely consensual in incestuous relationships.
