There are even more states that will let you marry your first cousin if you're really old and not likely to reproduce. Because having deformed babies is the only reason incest is wrong. Yeah.
And there are websites out there that defend the marriage of close relatives based on interpretations of the Bible and spurious birth defect statistics and the fact that we're all apparently at least 50th cousins with everyone else on the planet, so why should first cousin be any different? Um...because there's a big difference between 50 and 1, that's why. It's gross. I saw that episode of the X-Files with the family living under their house and inbreeding since the Civil War. No thanks. There's nothing that great about your genes that you need to double up on them.
Besides, with 6 billion people on the planet, you can't find a second cousin to fall in love with?
And with a final ew, I bid you adieu.
