God we've been through this so many times.

Why does incest have to be between a mother and a son? Why does it have to be between siblings?

Why cant it be between cousins? In some cultures cousin marriages exist even today. So what about them?

Secondly, sex is not to procreate. Yes it is, in the truest sense of the word, but you cannot apply that principle to human beings. So if sex was not to procreate - like between gay people, then what would you do? Throw them in jail for being gay?

What if it was a gay incestual relationship, would you then be okay with it?

The thing is, yes everytime an act of sex has a chance of producing a baby regardless of protection, but that is a chance people take. There are other methods to not get pregnant like taking a pill, or getting the baby aborted etc But this is their freedom. They can do whatever they want. Why should they be sent to jail for it? Because WE dont approve? Thats something Hitler would say :lol:

Lastly how effective is the law against incest, today anyway? How will it get worse if legalized? It wont get worse. It wont get better. It will stay the same. So why have the law ? Why cant incest be governed within the framework of the laws we have now? Like coerced sex whether incestual or not, is a crime. Sex with a minor whether incestual or not is a crime etc?

Mother, sister, cousin is all the very same. It's been said cousin 2nd or 3rd removed is when there is no hereditary issues that cause physical and mental disabilities.

You can argue sex isn't for procreation but that's the absolute only reason it's ultimately for no matter how you look at it. Every person has the urge to have sex it's human nature even animals are the same way.

You keep mentioning jail but even if it's against the law does not mean you'll be sent to jail for committing the crime. You're overlooking the small things in life like speeding tickets and parking tickets I do not know anyone that has been sent to jail for such acts unless they did not appear for court.

Who are you to say what we should or should not be able to do? You're being hypocritical.

You're also only looking at the most simple of cases with your last statement. For example, since you think incest is fine how about rape or polygamy?

Inbreeding leads to disabilities I agree. I am not saying people should do it or am for it. But there are people who do it nevertheless. Just like you can choose your partner why cant they? Even if that seems taboo to you?

There were times when homosexuality was considered a sin. Today we have come to accept it. Why not incest in the same way? There are people who are built in different ways and while we may not share their enthusiasm, we dont need to persecute them for it.

Now sex as such is not just for procreation. Thats a very narrow minded, old fashioned way of looking at things. Sex could be just for pleasure, it could be for purposes of bonding like in a relationship and it can be for making babies as well. If sex was only for procreation we wouldn't have contraceptives. People would just marry and procreate.

For incest, I dont think you will get tickets. Yes you might be jailed. According to the law today.

HUH? Its not me who is saying what one should or should not be able to do. Its YOU. You are the one that wants people sent to prison for having sex. I am saying, dont do it if you dont want to. But dont persecute others who wanna do what they want!!

I dont get what the censored part was, but when it comes to polygamy - its fine. India is a multi ethnic, multi religious secular country. We have marriage laws for every religion. So muslims for example can marry upto 5 wives legally. Christians and Hindus on the other hand can marry only one. So if a Christian wants to be a polygamist then he has to convert to Islam. Cuz the law applies only to muslims. Not too fair, but maybe we need some reforms. But as a principle, polygamy is fine as long as the parties involved are okay with it.

Not for nothing, I am all for freedom. Lets face reality, people (royalty) have been keeping it in the family for ages. Personally, I feel it is careless and selfish. Lets not ignore all of the potential side effects that can come along with it. That is just my humble opinion. My previous comment on this was one out of shock

Keep the getting pregnant part illegal.

Are you actually going to argue or just waste my time?

You can get life in prison for incest in Ireland.
All western countries beside the netherlands(legal) give jail time for incest.

Anything that does not hurt anybody else should be fine, that does include polygamy.

I have. While I agree that some parts might be conservative, I think more liberal cities like LA, SFO etc are okay with it? Cuz I saw lots of guys kissing in airports and such :lol: :lol: Pity I didnt see girls at it though :P
