Switzerland is now considering to pass a bill that will legalize incest between first degree relatives after a Professor is accused of incest with his own daughter.
[quote]"Academically, we are obviously all morally opposed to incest and rightfully so," he told ABCNews.com. "At the same time, there is an argument to be made in the Swiss case to let go what goes on privately in bedrooms."
"It's OK for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home," he said. "How is this so different? We have to figure out why some behavior is tolerated and some is not."
But he questioned why, if the alleged incest was consensual, why Epstein's daughter had been treated by prosecutors as "somehow a victim here, when she can be best described as an accomplice."
Incest is still socially and legally taboo in the United States, but attitudes may be changing in other parts of the world, at least when it involves adults and not minors.[/quote]
[quote]Social conservatives in that country have called the bill "completely repugnant," and a survey has shown that 60 percent of the public opposes changing the law.[/quote]

Am I the only one picturing Alabama covered in snow? :banjo:
More American states allow incest than gay marriage, fun fact.
I really don't care either way here. If both people are of age and consenting who gives a shit, as long as you aren't negligently making retarded babies.
:q:
Thank god, I thought ths would be about joining the EU when I saw "Switzerland considers..."
That'd be alot worse.
Oh god the fucking INBREADING

The inbreading, not the incest

To start over completely, wouldn't there have to be quite a bit of incest? At least in the beginning?

Here in 'Mericuh, as long as it's a vagina, it'll do.

Honestly, if they want to fuck their sister, let 'em, as long as they don't purposely inbreed for the sake of fucking up their genes.
I laughed quite hard when I read that in the newspaper.
It just ain't right. Not only is it a perversion of morality, but it's also a perversion of evolution. Inbreeding can result in mutations in one's bloodline, at least in the long term. Same-generation incest is twisted enough, but cross-generation incest is pretty darn wrong in my opinion.
Just out of curiousity, is there any kinda chart that details how controversial incest can be depending on the type of pairing, and the distance of relation? (aka self + sibling = Level 10, self + first cousin = Level 9, self + second cousin = Level 8, etc)

Pretty much sums up the quality of the rest of the post
but it's against gawd dontcha know
Switzerland, you can't be serious... so this is why you want to close your borders and deport all immigrants, so you can inbreed like crazy?

I don't think there's anything wrong with having morals and unlike homosexuality or something like that, they don't HAVE to have sex with their relatives and can choose to live a normal life with people they aren't related to.
It's just a fetish so I don't see anything wrong with it being illegal IMO.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think there's a passage in the Bible that is pro-incest...
Found it:
[I]"And the Lord said 'go forth and hit that, for a hole is a hole'"[/I]
[QUOTE=YoMother;26751589]The same reason teachers can't fuck their students.[/QUOTE]
They can, sometimes.

I can fully understand the argument that it's none of the states business what goes on in a private bedroom between two consenting adults, but unlike other sexual deviations or fetishes inbreeding does have a harmful effect on the gene pool.
I see they watched Arrested Development :smug:

Uh, the entire Book of Genesis promotes it. Apparently the entirety of the human population came from 2 people.

A common mistake with the Bible. Adam and Eve were the FIRST two but(can't remember the exact quote) it still says that God created other humans across the world.
The Bible just concentrates on Adam and Eve and the family that descends from them because they were the first two which I guess made them special.
Stay classy Switzerland.
In America its just the hillbillies that inbreed.
But, as long as the two people in question don't have sex, its ok then right?
I remember there was a news story where a brother and sister were separated at birth, and when adults, found each other and were gonna get married(they didn't know the other was their sibling).
[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;26751707]But, as long as the two people in question don't have sex, its ok then right?[/QUOTE]
yes it's perfectly alright for two people to have an incestuous relationship so long as no incest takes place

Regardless, Cain and Abel married their sisters.

Nope, adam and eve are within us all.
hey why the fuck not
i mean if the only argument against it is "it's bad because it's bad" i say we legalize it in the name of logic
I guess Switzerland is very understanding about their peoples needs.
