As I was sitting around contemplating life and love and what not. I came to think about my Sister's husband. He is a very pious individual. He annoys the crap out of me...
Anyways, we seem to have a lot in common although he is 4 years older than me. We have a lot of similar interests, quirks, mannerism, writing styles, fashion tastes... etc... With one exception. I broke out of religion and rejected any form of deity. He stands behind his religion unwaveringly. Much like me, he has a very strong logical flow of thought, however, it doesn't seem to apply to his religion. Somehow it's out of bounds for him. We've gotten into many heated debates about it, and in the end, for the sake of my sister, I don't push it any further; she too is very religious, unfortunately.
Which leads me to my question. If two consenting adult individuals wish to be together, would it matter if they were blood related?
The reason such an odd build up, is because, I questioned if my sister was actually looking for a guy much like me because of me... I however do not like my sister in such a way. In fact I particularly don't like Asians in general... I am Asian by the way.
Entertaining the thought, if it were the case; granted it was insured the two individuals don't procreate, I personally do not have a problem with that.
What if they did want a child?
I believe as long as it is within normal bounds of inheritable disease rates, it would be no different than having a normal child.
Many people have argued that it usually increases the chances to a greater chance than normal, and over a course of time it will compound the problem.
Of course, one could argue that people with higher chances of heart diseases shouldn't have children by that same criteria.
I don't believe we can set a criterion that will exclude incestuous relations without exclusions of others.
In the end, I would have no issues with two adults who understand the risks whom still want to be together and conceive a child.
