Something Foul in Denmark...again.

A sibling pair in Germany are attempting to redefine relationships by making sweet schnitzel love, though their country forbids sexual relations between close family members.

You are probably thinking the same thing as me: Effing awesome!

It's like the ending to Star Wars that we all wanted but didn't really want, but kinda secretly did want: Luke and Leia 'hook up' and produce babies that look like Ewoks, except dumber and with five eyes and epilepsy.

Actually, the very idea renders me physically ill. And yet, I have to stop for a moment and think about 'why' I feel the way I do:

Two people love each other.
They have even procreated together.
They just happen to be brother and sister.

Well, ok, they don't just 'happen to be', they are, and they love getting it on, as apparent by their four children.

Recalling what I learned in med school, with forty-six chromosomes in the average human [and forty-six pinic baskets in the average bear], twenty-three from the father and twenty-three from the mother, if one parent carries a 'bad gene' and the same gene in the other parent is 'good', the child produced from their union will have a 'backup' or reserve copy of a 'good gene'.

Incest increases the chances of offspring acquiring the 'bad gene'. If both parents have a copy of this 'bad gene', the child won't have a copy of a 'good gene' to work with. Science shows that higher, or more evolved, life forms are more vulnerable to deathly genetic amalgamations, and many scientists believe that nature has simply cleared out incestuous behavior over time.

Perhaps this couple doesn't realize the consequences of maintaining a 'pure blood' line.
Perhaps they have not been reading medical journals or scientific publications written in the past century.
It's possible they know something we don't.

The science behind their love is practically irrefutable however.
It's not healthy or natural for humans to have incestuous relationships.

But there is something more to love than science.

History is burdened with stories of 'kin on kin' action. From religious texts to romance novels, incest has been a part of our existence since the first one-celled organisms decided to pull a train on their own caboose. Even America's predominant choice of deity was involved in an incestuous relationship with himself; Jesus being the son of his bachelor Father God, and yet you don't see us storming his heavenly door with pitchforks and torches.

Why? Because asexual reproduction carries no penalty in divine inbreeding. Come to think of it, it carries no consequences amongst lower life forms, like Bacteria, either.
Coincidence? I think not.

Hell, according to the Bible, mankind owes its very being to the act of incest, with all humans stemming from just two horny Jews with a fancy for forbidden fruit [and I do mean the kinky kind]

So, with the medical aspects pushed aside...why do we look down on these two Arian youth playing WW3 with their seed? While incest is deemed taboo in most cultures around the world, why do we deem this love to be false?

I'll tell you why: Because it's nasty.

Dear German siblings with insatiable appetites for each other's rollmops... You Nasty. You nasty, you nasty you nasty.

[I was really thinking I would come full circle on this one and prove incestuous love to be acceptable by providing examples in our last decade alone of relationships that were deemed 'socially wrong', like homosexuality and anyone who sleeps with Brittany Spears....buuuuutttt.....I'm done.]

[I'm sure my girlfriend is relieved]
