hahaha i think this needed a bump!!

 

well, if you look at the situation in their perspective, it would be alright ... they never had the brother /sister love .

they met just like how most of us met our girl friends and boy friends,

i guess if they don't mind, there is nothing to be worried..

good luck having a normal kid tho...

 

What is this world coming to??

 

well, just my opinion-

not saying i'd do such a thing

 

1st of all, just cause they have a kid doesnt mean that the kid will have ANY defects.

any inteligent person knows that in order to have a defect, you need to be a carrier of the gene (either in homozygous recessive, or have 1 dominant gene, if gene is dominant).

only way they'll have a defective kid is if they are BOTH carriers of the recessive gene, and then their kid has only a 50% chance of getting it, but thats only if they are CARRIERS, which means they're parents must be carriers or even have the defect.

its a lot more complicated and harder to have a defective kid just cause u had a kid with ur family.



sorry , just hate stupid comments such as : good luck having a normal kid tho... by asukadc

 

talk about rolling the dice.......

 

well, when you look at parents or soon-to-be parents, they try their best to avoid any mishaps that might happen with their children. well, isn't it given that there is a higher chance of having birth defects when having a child within family members? couples try to avoid so many things, why not this? even the slightest chance of trouble makes couples worried. for instance, when a woman conceives a later age, the chances of the child having down syndrome goes up. so couples worry. same thing for this. it's an issue and for you to say that it's a stupid comment (although i get what you're saying) is not of good judgment. you're just as ridiculous for sounding like a know-it-all.

 

I believe you also have a chance of having a genetically superior offspring. Regardless, the practice should be illegal.

 

i think it is illegal..

oh and am i the only one that heard that elvis married his cusin?? maybe i did get it mixed up with the great balls of fire guy jerry lee lewis.. but i coulda sworn that elvis and his wife were related somehow..
