I think he has a point. I don't really get how most people think that if it isn';t a good thing, whatever it is, then there ought to be a law against it.
As if legislation is the panacea to cure all ills.
I just don't buy that.
In the case in point: if the attendant social strigma doesn't stop people, I very much doubt that the law would stop 'em either. But it might help more solicitors get rich.
Yes actually, it should be legal. I am of the opinion that most everything should be "legal". But this does not mean that any individual is exempt from the consequences of their actions. Law or not, people will be ostracized for fucking their relatives, and I think that's perfectly normal.
It's the offspring that suffer, the ones that actually survive anyway, as the rates of congenital defect is alarming. Recalling discussing this before.

Wasn't sure, so looked and it's quite high. Clinical study read was about 60% congenital defect with about 40% severe.
How frequent are congential defects if your family tree isn't a pole?
Depends on the country, but wikipedia says 320-400 per 100,000 in the US.
