    The pair, who already have a child together, have been warned that it is illegal to marry a sibling but say they are determined to do so anyway and spend their lives together.
    The couple, who have assumed the pseudonyms of James and Maura to protect their identities, claim they were unaware that they shared a father when they first met and fell in love........




    i know its from a rag...

    but-


    any thoughts?

    Personally i think its unfortunate,but ultimately wrong.

    Discuss.

    Incest is just wrong, wrong, wrong...... But if Angelina Jolie was my sister, I might just reconsider that statement:D

    Why walk across the street when you can just walk across the hall instead?

    I feel sorry for the couple. They did not know at first that they were half-brother and sister.

    The only thing I would say is that I hope they do not have any more children together. The risks of defects would be too high.

    Whether they marry or not doesn't really matter now. They are already a family (in more ways than one).

    Did they have a kid before or after they realised they were siblings?

    The kid is it's own cousin.

    And it's father is it's uncle, it's mother is it's auntie........

    Well, if you can't keep it in your pants, at least keep it in the family

    This 14-year-old boy from Kentucky was banging his 12-year-old sister. He says "Damn sis, you're almost as good as Mamma." She replies "Yeah that's what Pappa says."

    I seem to remember something about first cousins being a riskier mating than siblings. :eek:

    I seem to remember hearing something similar before (think I heard about second cousins being riskier than first cousins), but after some quick reading (mostly Wikipedia), and I can't see why this would be. It appears the more closely related, generally the more dangerous.

    I won't do in-depth research, cause, well, I am at work. :P

    before they go ahead with this i suggest they watch this educational video on the dangers of inter familial marriage

    As Bill Hicks would say:
    "I'd like to introduce you to my wife and sister." - There was one woman standing there...
