Father and daughter expect child together

My name is URL

A woman who tracked down her long-lost father in the US is now pregnant with his child.

Garry Ryan (snigger), 46, was tracked down by his daughter Penny Lawrence, 28, last year. He had left Ms Lawrence's mother when she was pregnant, so father and daughter had never met.

Following the death of her mother and the grandparents who raised her, Ms Lawrence, from Los Angeles, became obsessed with finding her father, and tracked him down to Houston, Texas.

Upon meeting, they felt an instant physical attraction, which resulted in a sexual relationship. Ms Lawrence is now pregnant with her father's child.

The couple claim that their attraction is the result of something called Genetic Sexual Attraction, a term coined in the 1980s to describe overwhelming feelings between blood relatives who first meet as adults.

Speaking with The Irish Sun newspaper, Ms Lancaster said: "We are not committing incest, but are victims of GSA. We’ve never experienced a father-daughter relationship, so we’re just like any other strangers who meet in adulthood."

The couple said that if the three month scan of their baby shows it does not have birth defects, they plan to keep the child and raise it together.

The couple are aware that their relationship is illegal, and are afraid the law will be used to separate them.

In the US, a sexual relationship between close blood relatives is illegal, although the specifics of incest laws vary between states. A close blood relative usually includes father, mother, brother and sister, aunt, uncle, niece and nephew but may also extend to first cousins, step parents and step brothers and sisters.

Several theories surround the phenomenon of GSA, including the notion that humans are frequently attracted to faces similar to their own.

It also embraces the theory that if two people who are genetically related do not meet until adulthood, the normal sexual aversion that develops between siblings during childhood is somehow switched off.

Indeed, GSA can affect parents separated from their own children at birth, as well as siblings. It does not refer to a genetic sexual attraction, but to the fact that people are genetically connected.

The emotions that GSA engenders are reportedly intense and all consuming, leading those affected by it to act against their interest to pursue a relationship with their relative.

There have been cases of mothers and sons, and long lost brothers becoming intimate under the compulsion of GSA.

The situation is reported to be quite common in reunions between adoptees.

The term GSA was coined in the 1980s by Barbara Gonyo after reuniting with the son she had given up for adoption.

Upon reuniting with him 26 years later, she was horrified to discover that she had feelings for him akin to those of a lover, rather than a mother. She investigated her own feelings about her son and wrote a book in which she coined the phrase Genetic Sexual Attraction.

Does the fact that they have given this act a scientific sounding name make it any less disgusting? I don't think so.. I mean the ideal of 'each to their own' should not be taken to such extremes.

all kinds of wrong..

It's sick because they knew that they were father and daughter but I wonder how many siblings have unknowingly gotten together as a result of single parent families where the father could not be established, one night stands etc. I'd hazard a guess that it's going to become more commonplace in Ireland in future years.

Has a picture of the (?) happy couple.

I think this kind of GSA is more common in Twins seperated at birth.

Um, you mean besides the high chance the child will be born with severe problems, and will grow up in the knowledge his father is also his mother's father.

Wait, What???????

jackiebaron

Maybe he should run off again, then the daughter gives birth to a girl who after a few years tracks him down when he's in his 60's and he impregnates he as well.....you'd have some serious confusion then.

Rented Mule

Considering his history, I wouldn't expect him to stick around for the birth of the child anyway.

But seriously. That's screwed up.
How could anyone so that
The kid will have to be told at some stage

FesterBeatty

How akward would it be if only 1 of them had GSA...

So does this mean that the child doesn't exist?:eek:

The odds aren't as high as you think and in this case they are lower since she only shares half grandparental genes with him instead of full parental genes in the case of brother shagging sister.

jackiebaron

I guess she really can answer truthfully to "who's ya daddy" when he's bonking her. :P

JerryHandbag

I suppose when he yells out "Who's yer Daddy?" in mid fornication, he really will get an honest answer! :pac:

Edit: ha, beaten to it ^^

Homophobes are gay

Quandary

So to get this straight...

The kids father is also going to be his grandfather & uncle all role in to one? sounds pretty efficient really!

And his Mother is also his half sister.

The Xmas dinner table is gonna be a sparsely populated one in that house!

What problems and what are the increased risk? don't talk about things you don't understand.

The child will be a child and a grandchild of his/her father, and a sibling and a child to his/her mother! Or is he/she a half sibling of his/her sister?

The child's grand mother (who had the childs mother with the childs father/grandfather) will be the childs grandmother and stepmother. My head hurts...

Didn't you get the memo? The only real taboo we have left in our sick society any more is judging other's 'choices'.

They should name the child Philip J Fry.

Indeed :cool:


There was also a Mom & Son in Canada who were jailed for incest.

They had a child that died from a condition that was/is common amongst children that are born trough incestuous relationships:

If I may open another can of worms, I think using the scientific term GSA to make it ok to shag your family is in the same league as using Gender Identity disorder as an excuse to lob off your bits. We're all people Why not be a very feminine man or a very butch tomboy?

Does this mean that there aren't any risks involving birth defects etc.?

walshb

I wouldn't fault anyone for feeling a physical attratction toward any other person. It's something that cannot be helped. You cannot turn it on or off. But, knowing it's your daughter, and proceeding, is a little odd. I think I would have to restrain.

using Gender Identity disorder as an excuse? i don't think these people feel that they NEED an EXCUSE, it's simply how they view themselves.
Why not be a very feminine man or a very butch tomboy?- again, why be something if you dont want to?

just re-read my post, elaborating in case it sounded aggressive and all that jazz-
but if i saw a bloke in a field putting a step ladder up his árse and i asked him "what's with the ladder" and he said "i wanna be a fire engine"-
well let's face it, it's his árse isn't it?

Its actually only one difference away from being a normal hetrosexual relationship. Its many differences away from being a homosexual relationship.

No, not an excuse for how they feel, they are entitled to feel what they feel, of course. As an excuse to have surgery when society should welcome people who are a different sex on the outside as they are on the inside, without them needing to make the physical changes. Years ago, if psychiatric reprogramming hadn't got there first, people would have recommended that gay people get a sex change so that they were sleeping with the "right" sex. People should be free to be what they want.
Not explaining myself very well, I think.

Hope they're jailed for a considerable amount of time. Knowingly creating children from close genetic relationships is a horrific thing to do.

Do some basic research on genetic issues caused by incestuous relationships and any children born from it.
There is always a chance that physically, or mentally, there will be no direct results, however there is an increased chance.

However, in the long term, the mental results can be quite traumatic. Imagine this child growing up with people in the knowledge his parents are Father and Daughter, it is highly likely to have a huge negative impact on his/her life.

p.s.
keep taking shots son, but you're doing it wrong.

+1 Holocausts, The Inquisitions, slavery, human sacrifice, torture and all the other joys of the past are postively civilised compared to a bit of incest.
