Sorry girlysprite, it's one thing to say two people can fall in love. But if they are having sex they should put something on the end of it. IF the child they bring into the world has deformities due to the fact they are inbreeding then that is unfair on the child. The fact is, is that inbreeding DOES cause genetic problems, and it's very unfair if a child is born into that situation.
