At least leaving it to chance would have the possibility of having the faulty mutations die out.

Also, not all mutations manifest in diseases (perhaps many would be); theory of evolution teaches us that survival of a specie depends on mutation.

Just because something is legal, and was done by eminent people such as Einstein and Darwin, does not make it a good idea. Using this logic, I could argue in support of past slavery.

I don't think too many of us would care if they were, say, 3rd or 4th cousins.

Yet now we've been treated to a story about an *actual* cousin marriage, rather than an imagininary one. Since it's between two Palestinian Arabs rather than two Bible-thumpin', gun-totin', Harper-supportin', slope-headed hicks, however, it's not funny.

there's a heck of a lot more, but these are the ones I think people will recognize easily.
This was an interesting read.

Both the quantitative and qualitative data within this article alone shows the high risks of recurrent inbreeding, demonstrating that our ideas about inbreeding are by no means inbred; they are spot on in fact.
