The recent thread on Halal meat in schools raised the question of whether Governments are making too many concessions to minority demands that may be opposed by the majority native population. Now there is controversy about NHS guidance suggesting that there are advantages in first cousin marriage.

This comes despite 2013 research evidence from Bradford University which found higher levels of birth defects (6.1% compared with 2.4% in non-consanguineous marriages in the study) affecting couples who are first cousins, presumably leading to higher costs falling on the NHS and social care.

It could be argued that the NHS guidance comes from the NHS's Genomics Education Programme rather than the top, but many will say this is misguided.

I had five very attractive cousins and was a bit of a lad but any thought of intimacy with them was anathema
It should be | |

I remember seeing my 16 year old cousin in a bikini for the first time and my thoughts were so confusing - most of all was should his ball sac be protruding like that |  |

I was in bed with my girlfriend the other night and she said “you know, having a tiny penis is nothing to be ashamed about”
I said “I know but I’d prefer it if you didn’t have one at all” | |

On the OP, it cannot be right. This has to be a step too far. We have known for a very ling time that breeding with a closely relative causes defects, look at Royalty and all the idiots they sired.
Has common sense really been relegated to the basement and locked away never to be seen again? | | | |

The Habsburgs were so inbred that in later generations they struggled to eat and breathe because of the incredible size of their jaw. | |

Well yes, one thing on her hasn't changed, I read other members posts and am sometimes inclined to google what they said, I've learned a lot.
It does help that I love history and read, listen to podcasts and I'm on a facebook poage of a couple of authors who are happy to answer questions.
Mike Duncan did podcasts about the history of Rome then he did Revolutions and I've listened to them all up to the Spanish American revolts, just done Venezuela (1811)
Every day is a learning day. | | | |

As someone that has lived in, been around, Asian areas most of his adult life, I couldn't help but notice the large amount of mentally - physically disabled kids-young adults in these areas, more so in hospitals and clinics etc...
I assumed it was ethnically genetic and so pretty much unavoidable but then I leant about the high proliferation of close cousin marriages.
not interested in turning this into a race issue as I imagine the costs are relatively low overall although avoidable, but it's unfair on the poor kids to lumber them with this curse...
f****g hell, there are literally billions of Indians ,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis to choose from to sh@g or marry...why knock your cousin up?  |  |

With the issue of children being born into a family with one woman having children with multiple fathers, possibly unknown to the rest of the family and these men fathering other children. Could this be an unknown problem for "British" families further down the line. |  | | |
