8 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Inbreed

[@deejohnston2150]

The man you've shown with blue skin, was named Paul Karason. He was not blue because of in-breeding, but because he consumed colloidal silver daily, to self-treat a condition known as Argyria (dermatitis on the face). He passed away in 2013.

As a Pakistani English person who was the result of a first cousin incestual relationship, please for the love of god don’t have kids with your cousins or family. Not even once. I have severe health issues and spent my entire childhood being in and out of hospital. My siblings are all healthy and so it was confusing for me when one of my consultants said my health issues were 99.9% genetic to my mum ( who still stayed quiet about my biological dad). My uncle told me when I was 12 that my biological dad is their first cousin. I was so upset, disgusted and angry. It doesn’t always take generations, just once can bring a child into this world who ends up suffering. My aunt would justify cousin incest still by saying that it’s okay because ( the Quran says it’s okay) despite how she’s seen me suffer all my life. The willingness to be ignorant and in denial is real when it is cultural. My cousin ( her son) backed me up and said no person should ever have children with anyone they are related to. I wish in the UK there was a law against it too. I stopped identifying as a Muslim when I was around 18 years old for that and many other reasons.

[@sophroniel]

The thing I hate about inc3st is that it hurts innocent children, like you. You have to live with the consequences, and it seems so cruel to inflict that on someone who didn't have the choice. I hope you're doing ok with your health stuff. I have lots of health issues too, but my parents are 15th cousins who knows how many generations removed (they are descended from, amongst many others, a brother and sister in the early 1500's, and I only know that cos my dad is super into genealogy)

People from the old times had to marry between cousins because mostly lived in small villages and there was not many options otherwise how did we multiplied eachother?. The problem with it especially today is when it comes to your children than can grow up with a genetic disorder etc. You can study it even more. I personally not too closed to my male cousins, but just female cousins naturally, compared to you, since your a western where you can feel comfortable around the opposite gender has a friend etc.. not having this sense of boundaries can make you develop a certain familiarity since its whitin the familly circle. A brother is your brother, your sister is your sister, but your cousin is your cousin not your brother or sister unless you developped this relationship than naturally can lead to a fraternity feels which is understandable. But either wise I invite you to look for It even more.

Angelmans syndrome doesn’t only occur in incestuous relationships. My cousin and his wife both have a genetic mutation.

[@teijaflink2226]

It's just that the risk is much bigger in an incestuous relationship as most genetic disorders are very rare, so bigger risk two cousins have the broken gene for a genetic disorder (in most cases you need it from both parents) than someone you are not related to have that broken gene too. But with bad luck it can still happen, I know a woman who married someone from other side of the eart with a completely different ethnicity but they still had a child with a very rare genetic disorder, so both parents had a broken gene for that disorder.

And while they lose their abilities, they remember a time where they were able to function. Then, they die at 21 or 22. In my career, I met two families with this problem. All their kids were affected and they were big families (Since they had no idea something was wrong with their first child until 6 or 7 years, they had no reason to suspect what was going to happen.)

Most cases of Down Syndrome (also known as trisomy 21) are not inherited, so you shouldn't blame that on inbreeding.

Polydactylism (extra fingers) for one, also little people, and some Down's syndrome. The thing I admire about it is that all of them are treated as useful parts of the community.

[@dragonfly4500]

Causes Human cells normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome in each pair comes from your father, the other from your mother. Down syndrome results when abnormal cell division involving chromosome 21 occurs. These cell division abnormalities result in an extra partial or full chromosome 21. This extra genetic material is responsible for the characteristic features and developmental problems of Down syndrome. Any one of three genetic variations can cause Down syndrome: Trisomy 21. About 95 percent of the time, Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21 - the person has three copies of chromosome 21, instead of the usual two copies, in all cells. This is caused by abnormal cell division during the development of the sperm cell or the egg cell. Mosaic Down syndrome. In this rare form of Down syndrome, a person has only some cells with an extra copy of chromosome 21. This mosaic of normal and abnormal cells is caused by abnormal cell division after fertilization. Translocation Down syndrome. Down syndrome can also occur when a portion of chromosome 21 becomes attached (translocated) onto another chromosome, before or at conception. These children have the usual two copies of chromosome 21, but they also have additional genetic material from chromosome 21 attached to another. NOT INCEST

[@livinginthenow]

Marrying your cousin only became considered incest in the late nineteenth century. I'm pretty heavy into genealogy, and discussions I've had with others on the topic indicate that almost everyone has a few cousin marriages in their family tree if you go back hundreds of years. In modern times, however, it can be problematic in certain cultures because of marrying cousins generation after generation, rather than just the occasional cousin marriage throughout the centuries. Cousin marriage inbreeding is kind of like photocopying a document. Do it once, and it's fairly legible. But a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy... Well, it becomes pretty much illegible fairly quickly. That's what happened to the Hapsburgs and to the pharaohs. And that's what happens to folks whose parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents all married their first cousins.

That has been my general understanding as well. There have been many first cousin marriages, one of the more famous being Charles and Emma Darwin's union. It's not a rarity by any stretch. In fact, first cousin marriages are still permitted in Virginia, and as a native Virginian of many generations on both sides, there is likely at least one instance of it in my own lineage somewhere. It's not so much the one time, although I'm thinking there must be some risk, even if only slight. The problems really surface when inbreeding occurs in subsequent generations, too. For the curious, the Darwin children grew to adulthood and led successful lives as I recall. One daughter did remain at home with her parents, but I'm not sure of the reason.

I have a (male) friend I have known since Jr. High, who was adopted because his birth mother was too young to financially take care of him. A few years later, after she married, and she and her new husband were more financially stable, she had a daughter that they both raised together. A normal family. When they were in their mid and late twenties, the siblings met up. They fell in love and wanted to get married, but due to legal issues, they were not able to. However, that did not stop them from being together. He had a vasectomy in order to avoid any kind of accidental pregnancy. They've been together for 22 years now in a very happy and healthy relationship. They adopted as well and have a beautiful daughter. Except for a few close friends, they never mentioned their familial relationship to anyone because of social stigmas. Even though I have kept their identities anonymous, I still asked them for permission to even post this. They are both great people and good friends.

The hematologist that worked with the Fugate's was from the University of Kentucky and it was part of a research project. It did work but after he gathered the results, he did not continue with the treatment. He had the data he needed. And this wasn't a standard medication that they could get and just take. Also, their condition was a bit more involved than being blue; it effected how well they processed oxygen and had effects on their cardiac systems and some were prone to seizures. Despite this they could be long lived. They were also affected to varying degrees, i.e., some were "bluer" than others. There are to my knowledge, no Blue Fugate's left anymore due to assimilation with the greater population. They lived in the mountains near Hazard, Ky. in Perry Co. Now with better roads and transportation they are no longer and cut off, so their gene pool expanded, and given it was a recessive trait, it stopped manifesting. This means of course, that several families carry it now, but as long as they don't intermarry, it shouldn't be a problem. By the way, lifetime Kentucky resident, and not blue.

To simplify: the closer the relation, the more likely both parents will contain copies of recessive traits and the more likely any children will obtain and express those recessive traits. Most recessive traits are not good for the individual, but some can be. Inbreeding is how we have so many dog breeds. A desirable recessive trait will be bred to be stable which usually means lots of inbreeding. Plants aren't much different. Inbreeding can reveal recessive traits that may or may not be desirable.

[@dme1016]

There are so many people who are directly related to another who don't even know they are related - thru Dad's who may have children with different women, then those children meet & have children, especially in smaller communities, that it's almost a given that lots of inbreeding is going on.

Many years ago I had to go to the funeral of the husband of my dad's cousin. We were all in church and I saw some admittedly hot looking girls. I didn't say anything but my dad's cousin told me they were my distant relatives. I admit that I was shocked, but also glad I was too shy to even talk to them. That was the first and last time I ever met them. That's why funerals can be so awkward, meeting people you're related to but never knew it.

I heard a story many years ago were a brother and sister were separated at Birth and given up for adoption. Years later they found each as adults not knowing that they were related. They got married... but I do not remember if they produced any children.

Wouldn't their marriage be invalid since they are brother and sister? Did they eventually find out they're related to each other?

[@NBC_NCO]

@@melissacooper8724 They did find out eventually that they were related through adoption papers. I think she was having trouble with miss carrying or getting pregnant. Some blood work and questions from the hospital helped them solve the problem. I'm not sure in that case if the marriage illegal or not . The question comes to a moral one between them. Is the love the felt for one another because they were family by instinct...or was it pure coincidence and sexual attraction. Again this was a long time ago and I do not remember the details.

@Wolf Girl their children were mentally challenged. If I'm remembering correctly, they had 3 children, 2 were "abnormal" and one was "ok". In fact it was their children's conditions that brought on the suspicion in the first place. It was only after the children were born they both went to get tested.

[@freyalw326]

Haemophilia isn’t always the result of inbreeding, it's a spontaneous gene mutation and can happen to literally anyone. I’ve done DNA tests and family trees and none of the marriages on my great grandmother’s side were related to one another. I carry Haemophilia B. Thousands of people have it, including the actor, the late Richard Burton and his brothers. Him and Elizabeth Taylor set up a charity to try to find a cure. My great grandmothers family also have other blood disorders I found through distant cousins. There’s no doubt that the royal family were incestuous but haemophilia doesn’t always in most cases stem from incest.

I read a long published diary of his. He didn't mention it once. He must have had a way to deal with it instantly if he started bleeding. Tho I don't remember him going off to wild places where he'd be away from drs.

[@nonsonomoltobravoconinomi1531]

not all of these illnesses are direct results of inbreeding but if a siblings has an illness and mate with each other they highten the risk of the offspring inhereting health complications, moreso if the couple already come from a long incestuos lineage.

[@margarethill8121]

Glad you said this. My son was diagnosed with Haemophilia A. The doctors said that only the genetic line of the mother can pass it on. BUT it can also be caused by a mutant gene. No one responsible.

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

It is thought to be a spontaneous mutation in Queen Victorias case as there was no family history of that disease before then. Queen Victorias father was 51'when she was born and there is a definite connection between age of father and harmful mutations

[@JimDeferio]

The widespread consanguinity in Pakistan has led to much microcephaly ("rat children"). Recently the cause of this condition has been denied by some but it is self-evident. Expect huge problems in America from the growing number of children who don't know who their father is as they begin to become sexually active. We're going to have half-sister/half-brother unions giving birth to babies who may have severe mental and physical health problems.

[@Ephesians5-14]

You know what I've always found strange about people feeling physically connected to individuals they're related to? There have been numerous scientific studies on the science of attraction and proven that our bodies send signals through pharamones in scent and saliva based on who we're most genetically compatible with to bear healthy children. I would think that we should be *repulsed* by people we share genetics with, even if we don't know that we share DNA.

[@JimDeferio]

@@Ephesians5-14 I have dual science degrees, one being in biology, and it is amazing how much new info comes to light as time goes on. I suspect that the attraction based on similar DNA has nothing to do with sexual attraction and "healthy children" but on strong family bonds based in safety & survival. For example, male lions can detect their siblings and offspring by pheromones and that plays into them developing a strong pride to protect their territory. Btw, I am 80% Italian but I married a woman who is mostly Irish & German. However, when I'm around other Italians I feel VERY strong ties and a camaraderie that compels me to stick with them as with a brother or sister. Some of that is no doubt social conditioning but often I don't even know they are of Italian lineage until later. Btw, when I was young I swore that I would NEVER marry an Italian. I've seen too many "throwing hands". I'd rather fight a dude, they're not as tough.

[@vivianhull3317]

There was a documentary years on pheromones that concluded that the many perfumed products our culture uses, masked natural pheromones, therefore it would not be impossible to be attracted to a close relative. As has been stated here in the comments and on this particular documentary a lot of these examples are from isolated communities or done deliberately to keep a particular family line. However in royal families or wealthy families in the not too distant past, used perfumes to cover their own stench because they didn't wash very often
