What on earth? What does that have anything to do with my comment? That's a ridiculous leap of logic. No I don't believe in eugenics for your information.

I think I should add this to the contradictory beliefs thread: anti-incest and anti-eugenics.

Eugenics is about not creating "inferior" children. Now if incest isn't exactly the same thing, then tell me what it is.

You logic is so twisted, I'm not even going to bother getting into this ridiculous debate.

If by that you feel you think you've won an argument, think again. I just don't debate with idiots. If you fail to see the distinction between eugenics, the involuntary mutilation of someone's body and the ultimate form of invasion of privacy, and laws that prevent you from ****ing your sister and making babies, then I strongly suggest you seek some psychiatric counselling.

Perhaps there is a different reason for restricting incest than what red_jon cited.

Yes, there is. It's a biological imperative. Look at any species and you will find some sort of mechanism in place to prevent in-breeding. We just use law in order to achieve what other animals accomplish through instinct. You won't find a male lion getting it's balls cut off so it can't breed with it's sister, they're driven out of the pack to find females of their own from some other tribe. It's basic biology.

If a couple's first child has Cystic Fibrosis, should they be banned from having any more kids?

What about women over 45 - should they be stopped too?

Any species? Even those that breed with themselves?

I certainly wouldn't recommend going into their bodies and amputating their reproductive organs against their will. And that's what eugenics is all about.

You won't find very many instances of that with anything more evolved than amoebas, if any.
