I voted against marriage between brother and sister simply due to genetic reasons.
The argument others were making is that little people, for example, have an even greater risk of having babies with birth defects. Do you think they too should be forbidden from marrying?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

By birth defect do you mean they might have little people too?

I voted no. For the most part I feel people should be able to do what the want if it doesn't hurt anyone, but typically there is a sexual relationship that goes a marriage and inbreeding creates additional opportunities for birth defects. So such a practice would be harmful any potential children from such a union.

Getting consent would at the very least save you from a nasty dog bite in a spot you REALLY don't want it.

Egyptians and at least some Roman emperors thought differently. The only real argument against it is the chance of producing Kretins.

If two consenting adults want to schudlypoop behind closed doors then let them. So C with the caveat of no kids, but I think that bearing children should be regulated.

Nero was adopted into the Julio-Claudian dynasty by Claudius.
Caligula was the son of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder, who was the grand-daughter of Augustus.

I put a game proposal to the Parker Brothers game company once.
It was called "Incest: The Game for the Entire Family"
I didn't hear back from them...

I know I do, however, I feel the same way about same sex coupling and yet that does not stop a lot of people. There may be significantly more incest going on that we are not aware of due to the stigma attached along with more desires that are not fulfilled, again due to the stigma.
