It is Time to bring Incest out of the Family Closet

The taboo against incest began
as a clan custom during the Bronze Age

Virgins received a high bride price
This assured paternity
and helped to cement clan alliances

The hold-over into modern times
makes no sense
keeping incest in the closet
is causing untold harm

Thousands
if not millions of families
are forced by law
to live lives of fear and shame
because some damn fool geneticists
a century ago,
interested only in laboratory statistics,
stated that a small percentage of incestuous offspring,
might suffer some form of genetic disorder.

And what I am saying
loud and clear
so that deaf ears might hear

Firstly:
The whole of species evolution
is founded on incest
it is therefore
not even remotely unnatural,

Secondly
healthy parents
no matter what their relationship
will beget perfectly healthy off spring
and unhealthy parents
not matter what their relationship
will beget unhealthy offspring

Thirdly
the law against incest
is unjustly and cruelly punishing the innocent
for no sound reason.

It should be put aside
and allow families
to come out of the closet
and live normal lives

I would like to know what anybody with some balls
has to say about all that.
