No. I'm saying that if we want to take something that is currently illegal and make it legal, I would feel better about it if I were guaranteed they would be unable to produce multiple children while knowing they have a 50% chance at several severe problems (many times multiple birth defects combined).
When two unrelated people get married and have kids, severe birth defects and early death can still happen - but they didn't go out of their way to create it. bTW- I absolutely love working with differently abled individuals and hope to someday go back to school for special education.
Also, two consenting adults doing whatever they want behind closed doors and not harming anyone else is none of my business. They could still go on to adopt or have a donor/surrogate mother.
The daughter was 16 when her father began having sex with her. Does that fit your narrative of 'two consenting adults?'
I have been trying hard to figure out why this thread triggers me so much. As an incest survivor, of course it would. But it really really upsets me. And I think it is because my own father was my refuge from my sick uncle. He was someone who NEVER acted sexually towards me. I could give and receive affection that was PURE. So when I think about people accepting as 'normal', a sexual relationship between a child and a parent--it disgusts me. Our kids would all be hyper sexualized/
Is it cool for a mother to begin having sex with her teen sons, because it isn't 'hurting anyone?' PFFTTTTTTT
