Redneck kids.

I know a couple people who are married and are first cousins. I have to admit I dont agree with it but will not judge for it. You are taking a big chance if you decide to have children on their health.

The closeness in DNA can cause retardation in babies.

Think of it this way:

You are half your mom and half your dad.

Your first cousin is half his/her mom and dad.

If your first cousin's mom is your mom's sister each of them has half their parent's genes.

When you have a child, they are supposed to inherit 1/4 your parent's genes and 1/4 your partners parent's genes.

If you have a child with your first cousin, you'd be giving your child 1/2 his/her grandparents gene's instead of the standard 1/4....

Of course, if you're not planning on having children...my answer is moot.

I agree with others, not only is it incest, but your baby would have birth defects, also, that's just plain nasty

No risk as far as marriage but if you choose to have children there is where the problem lies.
Too close in genetics (close family members marrying) can cause a much higher risk for birth defects.

1. Friends, family, people in generall telling you WTF is that all about.
2. Future children might have a chance to be born retarted.
3. Do you really want to put your child through reason numer two just cuz you cant keep your #@!# in your pants.

Eww...gross! Well first its against the law, its incest and your babies will have a good possibility of being messed up!

Increased chance of defected children
Being shunned/looked upon in disgust (I'm usually very accepting and encouraging of 'true love' and 'being yourself' but thats a little disturbing)
Possible jail time?

Awkward family reunions.

Not a good idea. Your gene pool is too similar and you risk hereditary disease for your children.

In most states it is illegal because of the high risk of mental retardation in their offspring.

children that are born really sick, with all different types of issues

Madness, retardation and abnormalities. The risks of cross breeding can severally screw up the genetic make up of children born out of that union. Plus, there is the social stigma of just marrying your cousin..people will make fun of you and shun you.

Crossbreeding within a family are well documented in the Royal Families of Europe, especially the Hapsburgs and Romanovs...it lead to severe deformaties and genetic traits like Hemophila, a rare blood disorder that causes your blood not to clot. It's not a myth as others have suggested, it's just dangerous, and it's why it's not only socially unacceptable..but it's agains the law too.

I hope you might be a South Indian. Good. The first coursins are to be separated from their families and make arrange on their own.


Mr. Fisher
It's illegal and your babies would be sickly inbreads.


irishblueeyes
not true...babies do not get screwed up...its a popular myth...your family will just want to kill you, no big deal...and if they dont kill you, your friends and family wont talk to you...no big deal really

Well if you are not going to move to another state like Arkansas, people pointing and laughing at you constantly in your home town, not to mention your offspring may be affected by this.

that's incest. if they have children they will have severe birth defects because of the limited gene pool.
