I said that it should be protected (at least in hetero cases), in my opinion. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />@ 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. <3VeganJoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019991580910632376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152584185487706890.post-16825035897532754272012-02-17T08:04:40.488-08:002012-02-17T08:04:40.488-08:00Vegan, thanks for your support.

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.<br />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.

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*WWVeganJoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019991580910632376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152584185487706890.post-57982884298142043382012-02-16T13:08:24.255-08:002012-02-16T13:08:24.255-08:00These bigots keep using the argument of genetic di...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<br />-CorneliusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
