The government don't have the time or money going to investigate every individual case of incest to work out the possibility of having kids.


I'm not taking about legality. I am talking about morality. Very different things.
So if you are saying it is immoral because of the risk of ****ed up kids, then surely if you take that risk out then it should be fine?

Oh, ok. People think it's disgusting because they could never imagine ever having sex with a member of their family without being repulsed. I don't see a problem with that.

But different people think different things are disgusting. I think watersports and scat play are disgusting. Doesn't mean I think they should be banned or are immoral though.

Again, what if kids were not a chance at all? (say one of them was sterile).


Then there is no issue. As long as they don't reproduce, I don't care what they do to each other.

I also think anyone with a serious genetic defect should have enough moral standing to adopt, use a sperm bank etc, knowingly passing genetic defects onto a child is immoral. But that's a separate issue.

I'm not saying it should be bad.

Also, if you think something is disgusting and wrong then you think it's immoral.

If you read what I said, I said I'm against it because it UNNATURAL, not because it's uncommon. You took that quote out of context.
It's not about prejudices, not in this instance.

I swear people can't read though. It's really annoying people carrying on quoting me when I keep trying to leave.
Please stop. Argue your point with someone who's up for it.


Unnatural = bad? Good argument :rolleyes:

How exactly ISN'T it natural?

Ok this may sound really stupid but surely animals have sex with brothers and sisters, do they end up all deformed?

Yes, unnatural = bad (when it comes to matters of sexual nature and other things to do with our bodies).

I've already explained how it is unnatural... Feel free to read those posts.

Just because some might think it's unnatural doesn't = bad. How exactly is it unnatural? There is no such thing.
