Incest, should it be punished?

[sockgirl77]

Some people look at gay couples and go "yuck". If they're not hurting anyone, why should their sex life be your business just because you don't personally approve?

They are hurting their kids just with the simple fact that they chose to have them.

interesting, its apparently not ok to say to someone you have never met that they should have sex with their sister, but for them to actually do it is OK

How?

I thought the same thing until the cousin couples people made their case. The argument was always hereditary diseases from inbreeding and stuff like that, but it's apparently not nearly as common as we thought.

But what about when the kids' friends/classmates get wind of it. You think you had a problem with Karma wars? Those little bastages can be VICIOUS.

There are people with genetic problems who reproduce every day. Alcoholics and drug addicts are allowed to damage their kids in the womb. Should the forum "disable" have been allowed to reproduce?

Why do we draw the line where it is? If it's to prevent damaged kids, we sure didn't draw the line where it needs to be.

No.

It's no different than having gay parents, or fat parents or really any kind of parents that are outside the "norm". Plus, nobody would even know that the parents were brother and sister unless someone told them.

The good news is that it would make holidays a lot easier.

But the man has already done time, so it's public knowledge.

Merry Christmas Uncle Dad!

Certainly its disgusting, but is it more disgusting than homosexual sex.?

If they are consenting what business is it of the general public?

Certainly they should be using some form of birth control, but other than that, why should we get into the bedrooms of consenting adults. Isnt that the Homosexual argument?

I would bet there are sisters who have engaged in lesbian sex and brothers who have done the same

How can we banish one sexual preference while lending a deaf ear to another?

Who is the judge of what is sick and allowed and what is sick and isnt allowed??

German High Court Takes a Look at Incest

"Must consensual sex between close relatives be punished? Germany's highest court is about to rule whether incest will continue to result in a jail term. It is referring to the case of a brother and sister who have already had four children together.

Brother and sister, and lovers with four children. Patrick and Susan from Leipzig.
At first sight they look like an ordinary couple, strolling through the park with their child and their dog. But when the two adults hug each other their physical similarities are unmistakable. They have the same pronounced nose, the same blue-green eyes, and the same thin lips. Patrick S. and Susan K. are brother and sister. They are an incestuous couple.

Since Susan became pregnant with Patrick's child and their relationship became known to the authorities, they have been prosecuted repeatedly. Their case touches an age-old taboo, it's exotic and tragic at the same time. "Coitus between relatives" is illegal in German law and punishable with a fine or a jail sentence.

Patrick S. has served a jail sentence of more than two years because of his love for his sister, and he may have to go back to jail for at least another year, unless Germany's Federal Constitutional Court rules in his favor. The verdict is expected soon."

just have them move to the U.S. they can start a movement to allow such things and be added to the protected class under the hate crime laws.

I forgot to ask,, they got any sheep?

 

[Larry Gude]

Gahk!

We had a cousin couples thread on here a long time ago - anyone else remember that?

Anyway, I think what consenting adults do in their sexual life isn't anyone's business, let alone the court's. Who cares and why?

Only child!!! Siblings is just...guhh... They're not women, they are my sisters.

You should tell...

Once MD adopts legal marriage of gay couples who’s to argue then that’s its not OK for siblings to marry? The matter of ethics as grounds for marriage will have be removed.

 

[Larry Gude]

Well...

Once MD adopts legal marriage of gay couples who’s to argue then that’s its not OK for siblings to marry? The matter of ethics as grounds for marriage will have be removed.

...the original intent of siblings not marrying is one of genetics, right? So, the reason for siblings to not marry are a bit different than homosexuality, right?

But doesn't that argument fail if we allow people who are known to have genetic defects to reproduce?
