    As stated several times in this thread, the risk of genetic issues is akin to that of a 40+ year old woman having kids.

    It would seem consistent to also ban that if that is your actual issue, right? So, is that what you’re suggesting?

      I never called for a ban. I said maybe go out and explore the forest before climbing up the family tree. And it’s my understanding that most women understand the risk of procreating after 40 and typically avoid it.

      But I’m not your daddy. You don’t need my approval to fuck your uncle’s kids.

        You said,

        It really shouldn’t need to be illegal, but I guess residents of the volunteer state require a little more incentive to find dates before the holidays, rather than during them.

        I took this to mean that those who don’t voluntarily choose to not marry/have sex with their cousins need to be forced not to by law (a ban). Did I misread that?
