And I don't think the fact there are and always will be laws that are unfair means we shouldn't complain about the laws that are unfair. Call me crazy.

I don't disagree with you there, but I pointed it out because as far as "justice" is concerned I don't think most people would insist that consenting adults be arrested for incest. I could be wrong, but I find it more likely we'd just be grossed out. It seemed less about justice/punishment in this case than about accidental committing of the crime/protecting people from that.

I simply think that while discussing the info the article presented (which, admittedly, you say you weren't focused on), the other posters weren't necessarily suggesting that we be unjust. The way I see it, this law has actual reasons for being in place, and I do think most would want to know that they aren't violating it - not to avoid punishment, but because of what the act itself means (physically and mentally).

I suppose there's no risk of STDs this way - 10/09/2011 02:12:07 AM 386 Views
Yet, if they didn't know they were siblings then they wouldn't be bound by the incest taboo. - 10/09/2011 03:16:45 AM 430 Views
Yes, but the taboo has a rationale behind it. - 10/09/2011 08:13:01 AM 625 Views
Are people with actually diagnosed genetic defects "allowed" to have children? *NM* - 10/09/2011 12:41:56 PM 228 Views
yeah they are allowed - 10/09/2011 10:22:24 PM 514 Views
Of course they are allowed, but why? - 11/09/2011 01:38:57 AM 538 Views
I see where you are going with this, but - 11/09/2011 08:07:45 PM 492 Views
