As far as incest or polyamory go I say why not? As long as everyone is consenting it isn't hurting anyone.


That maybe means they can consent to sex, that does not necessarily mean they can form a contract.

I think I draw the line at family, there's too much risk of coercion for me to be at all comfortable with direct intra-familial relationships.

How doesn't incest hurt anyone? Your children will the ones who suffer... Society moved away from that early on because it is destructive to your community.

Is there research showing sexual arousal spiking in anti-bestiality types when they're subjected to viewing animal pornography? Because there's evidence that anti-gay men tend to be aroused by gay porn. Source.

Or, rather, it's pretty obvious when they're coming on to you. Damn goats... ruined my childhood.

Anyway, the issue at hand is not fucking them, it's marriage to them.

This is why people with genetic conditions are forbidden to procreate, right?

Look, the simple fact is, if incest were legal, it wouldn't suddenly become very popular. About the same number of people who do it now, would do it then, they would just be more open about it.

And that's a good reason to make it legal? I highly doubt it would just stay with them either. I'm not saying everyone will, but without the laws discouraging the act, it will become less taboo. No thanks to that.

No one said anything about people with genetic conditions procreating either.

The harms of incest are greatly exaggerated, and considering the fact that we don't forbid people with inheritable disorders from reproducing, I don't see how that would truly be relevent.

Because people with inheritable disorders probably did not consent having them on birth? I fail to see how allowing 2 consenting adults the rights to inbreed will help in that cause either, especially when they have a good chance to produce a child who will have problems through out their life. This discussion is more hillbilly than a redstate biblethumper rally.

Your reasoning applies to them. That's just logical consistency.

The reason to make it legal, is because it is not any else's business. You can say, "the children are more likely to suffer genetic conditions," but that same reasoning, as I said, applies to people who, currently, we do allow to marry. To be consistent you must choose to render one legal, or the other illegal.

Of course, it's an odd form of argument in any case. You don't have to be married to procreate, and you don't have to procreate if you are married. And, indeed, I'm sure many incestuous couples would rather not marriage or no, so your point is, as we say, moot.

I don't care about logical consistency when it comes to giving someone a somewhat more fair chance in life. If someone is born disabled, it would be unethical to deny them the right to marry. It is, however, not unethical to tell someone you can not have sex with your sister, as it is unfair to any offspring you may produce.

But it is equally unfair to the offspring of those with genetic conditions. You can't have this both ways.

And, again, if it's just children you're worried about, why not make that illegal? Why marriage?

Coercion would imply some level of lack of consent, however. I also would say what you describe is wrong, but what's wrong about it is the coercion.

I can get over the risks of a person with a genetic disorder given a fair chance. It is more unethical to me, to deny someone rights based off of their genes, no matter what it makes you. However, it is not unethical to tell two (probably) healthy consenting adults that their incestuous relationship will probably produce a child who will be disadvantaged, and find that grounds to deny them.

If you read my first post, I pretty much flat out said incest should be illegal.

No, it is a discussion on whether or not people should ever be prohibited from reproducing. I happen to agree with the UN on this issue.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights wrote:Article 16.
• (1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.

I do not believe people should be prohibited from reproducing simply because their children may be born with disorders.

I can get over the risks of a person with a genetic disorder given a fair chance. It is more unethical to me, to deny someone rights based off of their genes, no matter what it makes you.

But that's exactly what you are doing. You're punishing two people who love each other on account of an accident of birth that causes them to have very similar genes.

However, it is not unethical to tell two (probably) healthy consenting adults that their incestuous relationship will probably produce a child who will be disadvantaged, and find that grounds to deny them.

How is that different? Define "probably." And again, why would it? It is not axiomatic that marriage produces children.

If you read my first post, I pretty much flat out said incest should be illegal.

And I will flat out say that you are wrong.
