Actually, objectively, there's nothing majorly wrong with first cousins marrying. As long as there haven't been immediately previous incidences of incest, there's only an increase in the incidence of genetic disorders/inheritable bad traits of about 2% over the normal population. Not that I'm endorsing cousins marrying/having children, but as long as it's a one-generation thing, nothing too bad should happen.

More common in New York and California? Are you stupid? Incest is more common in rural areas get over it.

You don't get any birth defects from two first cousins. Only from direct incest.

I don't get it. What's the FML? It's not that bad. It's not like they're brother and sister.

It's still a little disturbing. I bet you'd feel different if YOUR parents were cousins :|

Maybe this person has a thing for their cousin so they don't see why it's so wrong in so many ways!!!

You do realize how many issues the female could have with the pregnancy? The child could easily have multiple birth defects because of how closely related the parents are.

agree with above. like get tested for what. they're humans at least they're not brother and sister yea they're related but didn't we all technically come from Adam and eve? so were all technically related in one way or another

agree! also, back in the 1700s century, all the royals wanted pure blood... so they married their cousins, nephews, nieces, so there's a high chance that all Europeans are related yet some of them are the richest and smarts ppl and countries... moreover, I'm sure you'd already have symptoms if u had issues

You are on average 50% the same as your siblings are far as what genes u get from your parents. Your kids take 50% of your genes. So on average you will only have about 12.5% of the same genes as ur first cousin from your common grand parents on average. So from a single generation of first cousin marriage the odds of u picking up a problem from this are pretty low. Having said that your parents are 99.9125% the same as each other genetically anyway, and your 99.9% the same as any random person on the street - no matter what race they are. So who cares! :P

I honestly refuse to believe that because of his lack of grammar skills. Shoot, I didn't even read the whole thing. As soon as I saw the 'u's and 'urs', I lost interest.
