To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
These bigots keep using the argument of genetic diseases, but they don't understand that it isn't a good reason for a law against consensual sex

Well, cornelius, I think often consensual sex can lead to a pregnancy, which is why they are concerned. If more people used protection or pointed out that some people can't have children, it would be less of an issue, though maybe not, because some people just won't listen to reason. *ROLL EYES*WW
ReplyDeleteI would like to add, that in YOUR case, it isn't a reason for a law against consensual sex, but I think that people in hetero relations should be allowed to have sex as well, granted they use protection.
DeleteI have read Keith's interviews of people that have had healthy children from incest and I have considered the concern greatly, but I personally don't feel like I would want someone to put that risk for a disabled child out there, even if the chance for disabilities is no worse than a 40 year old having children. It's still a higher risk, and just because 40 year old women and the disabled are allowed to have children, that doesn't justify someone else's decision to put that risk on a child.
I still love you Liz and Ryan! Don't hate me, that's just my opinion >.> I'd much rather have no risks and have people just adopt in general. Plenty of children that need loving homes <3
Yes, but everybody must receive the same treatment.
DeleteIf 40 year old women and disabled are allowed to have sex even if there is a higher risk for the offspring, a consanguineus couple should be allowed to have sex too.
Anyway, adoption is always a very good thing :)
-Cornelius
Vegan, thanks for your support. The fact is, many people in consanguinamorous relationships are unable or have decided not to have biological children together. Some want to adopt, some want to use a donor egg or donor sperm, etc.
Delete@Cornelius.
ReplyDeleteI didn't say that consanguineous couples shouldn't have sex. I said that it should be protected (at least in hetero cases), in my opinion.
My argument was that just because 40 year old women and the disabled are unfortunately (in my opinion) willing to put a child at risk by not using protection and deciding to make a baby, that does NOT justify or mean that is "should" be okay for consanguineous couples take a chance and put that sort of risk on a child. I hope you catch my drift, I don't mean to be too harsh but I always want to put the children first. I know that defects can happen out of nowhere simply during any pregnancy, but I think, if you KNOW there is a higher risk before you get pregnant, I would hope you would not want to play roulette.
@ Keith. Yes many can't have children and I know that some choose not to (a good thing in my opinion.) I'm simply referring to those who can have children and who choose to, knowing or not knowing the risks. I wouldn't to take a chance like that that involves someone else's life. <3
Don't worry, I fully understand what you mean.

I have friends who are not closely related to sat down with a genetic counselor before they had children. It is a good idea for ANYONE to have some idea of what risks are faced in having biological children together.
