Switzerland might make incest legal.

[Corpse XxX]

Its kinda weird, but in some cases it might be justified..

Just dont have babies, they will most lightly be retarded mentally or physically...

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Wait, there was a law for this in the first place?

Well, whatever: you'd still have to be above the age of your country (sixteen+, eighteen+, etc.), and by then if there was incest I doubt it would be desperate.

 

[Jonluw]

Personally, I'm all for consentual incest, so long as it's not between parents and children.
And, preferrably, they should avoid having children themselves, I guess.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Some of the responses make my want to hurt people

So you make it legal, how many people are going to do it? Out of those people how many are going to eventually want children? Now I don't know much about genetic disorders within incest but I don't think finding out in a practical way is going to be very human

I'm all for freedom but no one on this site has any knowledge of the consequences from this so none of us are in a fit position to argue if we should or shouldn't allow it.

Don't agree with the medical reasoning? How about social taboo? How are people in the future going to react with you fucking your mum? Don't say you know because you and your future partner will not react rationally to the situation.

This is fucked up, and not something we should be encouraging. It doesn't get any more depraved than this.

Brief analysis: (not necessarily my opinion, just throwing ideas out there)

The government can only legislate effectively against incestuous relationships, it cannot effectively legislate against unprotected sex between people in incestuous relationships, only the results of this unprotected sex (i.e. the embryo, fetus, child, etc.). Legalising incestuous relationships will make it more likely for a given person to be in incestuous relationship. This in turn raises the rate of embryos being concieved through incestuous relationships to increase. Fact is, unprotected sex does occur. Also, contraceptives are not infallible. They can fail. This means that legalising incestuous relationships will increase the amount of embryos concieved by the two people in the relationship. The embryos concieved will either be kept, or aborted. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding for the effects on inbreeding on an individual or population. Abortion is a complex issue. Many people will oppose the abortion of these embryos. Abortion therefore should ideally be avoided. Keeping incestuous relationships illegal will minimise the need for these abortions, as demonstrated earlier.

This issue is too complex hazy to properly draw conclusions.

One word. Necrophilia. Guess it got more depraved. Considering the sheer amount of fetishes and social taboos, I'm sure you could find one alot worse than incest. Hey, I just gave you one of the top of my head.

The problem is I can't see a way to prevent children with problems. Forced abortions? Wow, just... no. Fines? Might not stop them. I'm against it for this reason, but if they can think of a way to stop inbred kids, then go ahead.

 

[jboking]

There are times that I believe, if worded politely, the escapist would approve of legislation reminiscent of "A Modest Proposal."

...Der fuck?

One of those topics I could get permabanned just from the jokes. Not touching this one. Not with your sisters.

I see what you did there.

OT: This is...interesting to say the least. It's just...icky for me, but I guess so? Why not? I mean, it's not like a law is going to stop people from doing that anyway, but still.

I love your avatar

Anywhoo, I'm not quite sure what to think of this. I mean the Swiss are as liberal as they come, and what two consenting adults want to do is none of the governments business, but procreation through incest doesn't always turn out so well.

 

[skitzo van]

Well I'm glad a collective group of people realize this isn't much of a problem. I applaud Switzerland.

 

[notsosavagemessiah]

the problem is, inevitably, it will harm somebody. That's why it's illegal, not because it's creepy, or out of the norm, but because serious harm can come to the child if it is born of familial relationship.

 

[Woodsey]

Oh ho ho ho....no. No this is a bad idea. Look, I know we like to be all permissive on this website but the damage to children from even one incident of inbreeding is massive.

When did sex equal procreation in modern times?

It didn't - but accidents happen. And if two people want to be together then they're likely going to want to have kids too.

OT: Not sure about this, as in, not sure either way.

I'm leaning towards this though:

[Vanguard_Ex]

From an objective standpoint: incest is plain wrong, in the sense that it goes against both natural and moral and social laws. Just no, man.

That's not an objective viewpoint.

Gotta say I'm with the mafia here. After thousands of years of making, scrapping and tweaking laws, there's a reason why we have those that we do today.

Ah for fuck sake Woods, fine. From a viewpoint of someone who doesn't particularly give a shit about incest and is looking at it from what he would call logic. Better?

I can give him another, Pedophilia AKA the reason most people want to burn me at the stake.

I can guarantee that if you go up to someone in the street and ask which is worse, while having a Pedophile and a Necrophiliac next to you for example purposes, they will call the Pedophile a "Baby Fucker" and "Child Molester" and chase him down in a car, run his ass over, then call the cops and say "He was a child molester".

Yet Pedophilia is oh so sllloooooooooooooooooowwwllllllllly becoming a sexual orientation. Slowly, like, Fat Albert running around the land mass of Mars 10 times slow.

Whether or not it is depraved, well, that issue is still up for debate although I am on the side that it isn't.


OT:Wincest should be legal, yes.


(This turned into one really long pro-pedophilia rant didn't it?)
