wow, well, yes, that does raise an interesting moral/ethical debate... On the one hand, it is not a genetically sound idea to be mixing genes in that respect - mutations are more likely... on the other hand, well, these two people really did grow up apart from the usual sibling upbringing - it's not like the two have been lusting after each other since they lived across the hall from each other and had just hit puberty, they fell in love long after they had developed into 'normal' mature adults... On the third hand (we are talking about incest and mutation here), what can be done? Maybe this should bean exception as this is surely a case which is outside of the usual moral stigmas, and is moreso purely a case of bureaucratic ethics... touch call

I don't think the fact of them not growing up together should really enter into it at all. There's enough people in the world that nobody should have to marry their sister, period. That's just idiocy on the part of the two people involved. Then again, throwing him in jail is kinda dumb too. The only real issue for me is the kids' potential for genetic problems, which is really unfortunate. If dude wants to screw his sister fine, but condemning children to suffer genetic defects for no other reason than that you're a moron is pretty questionable. But I just don't see that as police-able...
My vote: leave'em alone. they've done all the harm they're going to do, and it's not as though a huge wave of incest is going to suddenly sweep the nation if they let it slide.

Good points Mr. Ridikulos.

What consenting adults do in the privacy of River Heights is none of the laws business.

That's it, I'm tired of these fake names so I'm changing it back to the Original Flava

By the way, despite my name change, I want to be clear that I still fall firmly in the pro-incest camp.
