Should First Cousins be Allowed to Marry?

[Rip Chudd]

were they "born that way"?

more importantly, what do Lady Gaga and Jay Z say about this?

[Prawn Jovi]

as long as it's a man and women.

i see what you did there.

[Spartacus Sully]

Marriage isn't the same as allowing people to have children.

[Russian Crushin]

My great aunt's kids did. Brother and sister. I don't know if either of them have a different father though.

Is that kid......you?

[WARQUEZ]

Is that kid......you?

You did not just go there...

Well as an only child that is one thing I won't have to worry about with my future progeny, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with it if I wasn't. But it's odd that you're trying to destroy an existing "right" while simultaneously trying to create a new one.

One of the poorest arguments for same *** marriage is "animals do it." Actually between dogs it is a show of dominance and they will never lock the way they will on a female. And I'm fairly certain it's the same for the rest of the 99% of species that only engage in coitus (or excreting ***** upstream, whatever) for the purpose of procreation. Not the case with cousins or others even more closely related.

Also marriage between cousins has been accepted for the millenia since its creation, unlike between those of the same ***.

And what would you do to cousins that have been married for decades if you overturned this rather common law? Or their children?

Seems a little too close to the gene pool.

Yeah you share what 25% of your genetics?
