Incest is NOT Wrong

But there is reasonable cause. You stated that "Meaning, it being legal doesn't mean more people will want to do it. " which is true, but it goes both ways. If pot was legal, more people without a doubt would do it more. Also, the safeguard you have assumes that Abortion is legal in said country, It's not a easy choice to decide if you want to abort your own child. for teenagers, it's not a "drop in and done" situation. It's a extremely hard choice And teens do use these "safeguards" before sexual intercourse, but it is never a 100% guarantee. Also, there is a significant difference between the gay population, and incest. For instance, If you look all around the world, straight people are almost always the majority in every nation. You said "Some can't afford it - Health insurance. .. Move to Canada. Haha, but seriously, there are other less costly methods of birth control (condoms, birth control pills, plan B pill) and they are available to everyone who can't afford an abortion. " However, condoms, birth control, pills. .. ect do not guarantee you will not get pregnant, so I ask the question what happens to a pregnant girl who is 16 and in School living in a poor family and cannot afford a abortion has a child? Do you arrest the mother? the father? outlaw incest children from becoming born? because of some punishment isn't done, then people will have incest children. In simple, Incest is morally/scientifically wrong because it will encourage sexual activity with family members. Because, why stop at brother and sister? I mean, fathers and mothers can consent to and as long as there is no children born, it's Ok, right. .. .? While there may be "some" who won't have children, don't you think that some will just not care? There are families in America who get torn apart because they have had incest children. I think it takes a strong leap to believe everyone who gets in these relationships "Don't want children" Also why stop at incest? Beastiality could be moral to, for specific animals. The argument against this would be that animals can't "consent" but dogs can choose to penetrate women, and there is no harm to either participants. Morality can be subjective, and based on harm, but it doesn't mean everything that is not harmful is morally Ok. I will end with answering you biggest arguments. 1. "There are just too many safeguards that prevent child birth before and during pregnancies. " As I said, this is not true. You said that if you can't afford abortion use condoms, pills. .. ect but this does not guarantee you will not get pregnant 100% nor does it take into fact in america, you're more likely to have kids if you're in poverty, and 45 million or 14.5 percent of Americans are currently in poverty . http://www.huffingtonpost.com... So, if a brother gets his sister pregnant more then likely this will be from a poor family who cannot afford abortion. This evidence is more then enough to rule out abortion entirely, since the majority of children born will be to poor families. 2. "You mentioned gay children being in relationships. This is just a slippery slope fallacy, except we know that this slippery slope doesn't go where you say it will. In my opening statement, I explained that the gay community is still a small minority in the population despite homosexuality being legal now. Meaning, it being legal doesn't mean more people will want to do it. " But this goes both ways, and is nil. If weed were legal more people would do pot. If murder were legal more people would do it. 3. "Incest is moral, because no harm comes from it. " This is definitely not true. You could say digging up graves, and robbing them is moral because no harm comes from it since they're dead, right? having sex with dogs that consent by choosing to penetrate women is moral because they choose to do that. Right? Just because there is no harm, does not mean it is good or "moral" The main reason as to why incest is wrong, is because of what it does to the kids. You can say "use condoms, pills. .ect" but the majority of kids being born are from poor families/poor. They usually are uneducated on such matters and do it. One of the main reasons of teen pregnancy is Poverty, and Education. So the majority of kids born will be from poor families who cannot afford abortion. There are some morals we should keep with us, and that is Incest is completely wrong. You should not date your father, you brother, your mother, or your sister. These are people you grow up close with and are supposed to protect. Not have a sexual relationship with.
