Hold on, so incest is sexual love with your own siblings or offspring?
Disgusting.
Why is there even debate? Such behavior is immoral and should be punished.
But your own family? Not only is that morally wrong, but biologically bad. It produces deformed babies, doesn't it?
love makes choices for us...we dont
Great logic, but then there's no problem with loving a cockroach, I presume?
What? Are your sisters cockroaches? Is that what you are trying to say? It's OK if you have insects for siblings. Tell us all about it....
? No
He said that we cannot control love, that it has no boundaries NOR SHOULD IT have boundaries
By this logic, a person can fall in love with a cockroach and it's "normal"
I just had this discussion with visceral_instinct in this very thread, James. The only way to ensure that procreation does not occur is sterilization
however, the question is then raised, "why are we barring this couple from procreating, anyway?" If your answer is along the lines of, "there is an increased chance for deformities within the baby from incest couples", then it surely doesn't end there, does it? If this is your rationale, then you're (perhaps unconcsciously) supporting eugenics.
Of course, the only way to ensure this law's widespread enforcement would be sterilization. Doesn't sound very appealing or moral, does it? It's simply safer to outlaw such a primitive and backward practice, if you ask me. Same thing goes for bestiality and homosexuality.
well that's Australia...and here is the real world
Yes, condoms are only 99% effective, blah blah blah.
I suppose you wish to ban all sex that is not for procreation, just in case. Do you?
I haven't made any argument for banning people from procreating. Perhaps that is your argument.
Homosexual sex has no risk of accidental procreation, so your concern about possible deformities in children is irrelevant in that case. The same can be said for bestiality, actually.
So, presumably you have another rationale for banning those things? Do you?
So you're going to be there when the incest couples have sex, strapping the condom onto the guy's dick?
What I'm trying to say is that you can't enforce something like that, just like you can't arrest somebody for sodomy.
I suppose you wish to ban all sex that is not for procreation, just in case. Do you?
What? Of course not. What gave you that impression?
You said yourself that there was nothing wrong with incest as long as it didn't lead to procreation.

I obviously don't think homosexuality/bestiality should be banned for accidental procreation; sorry if I wasn't clearer. I was merely bunching them altogether as things I would like to see outlawed.

You said yourself that there was nothing wrong with incest as long as it didn't lead to procreation. So yeah, you kind of are trying to ban certain people from procreating.
What's your problem, if there is consent, and no chance of procreation?

Of course I jolly well do, ole chap. Aye, but the thread is about incest, see?
