The Mnrringe Of Near Min.

There is a widespread idea that con-
sanguiEeous unions pr Jduce either de-
70 tive offspring or none at all. When
n marriage between cousins is spoken
Of, r.eiility or a deaf-mute, idiotic or
defoumcd progeny is predicted, and eN-
amples are always M hand to cite i'll
support nf the prophecy.
Does this opinion rest upon positive
and we'll authenticated facts. or is it
erroneous? This is n question that
was examined few wears ago by Mr..
G.. II. Darwin. who. after profound
study OF the subject. came to the CON
c,usion that, in tn" present state of
scienc =. there is nothing TO justify the
common preiulice that exists against
the marriage of mar kin. More re-
Gently. the sub,s't has been further
examined hv Mr.. 1. II. Huth, who has
lust published an exhaustive work upon
it. in which he arrives at the same con-
illusions that Mr. Darwin did.
Mr.. HUH thinks that consanguinity
of itself plays no particular role i'll the
union OF individuals of the same stock.
In the descendants il increases the
tendencies common to the two progeni-
tors. BY reason of their relationship,
the closer this is and the closer the re-
lationship of the ancestors, the greater
is the tendency of the descendant to
exhibit tn same dispositions Ii these
are good, cOnsanguineOu- unions will
be advantageous, in that they fortify
and intensity them. Ii. on tn" con-
tray. they are bad. such unions should
be avoided, i'll order to prevent re-
enforcement OF unfavorable tendencies,
which should lie suppressed. But the
case is identical where it il a question
of unrelated persons. No reasonable
person would urge two homeopathic in
div;duals of different family to unite,
because he knows that the neurosis has
every chance TO become intense in the
descendants. On the contrary, n union
between consanguineous individuals.
equally healthy and well favored,
ought to be encouraged. What
may be urged against marriage
of near kin is tho facility with which
unfayorable tendencies are trans
mitted, and the relative rarity of the
circum,t noes in which slch marriages
can b. advised. But. this admitted
and explained, consanguinitv of itself
presents no Inconvenience. especially
ii We consider how remote, by reason
of the existing laws upon marriage, is
the degree of consanguinity between
individuals capable of uniting legiti-
mately.
Upon the whole. consanguinitv ac-
cumulates aud intensities tendencies.
If thes" are bad, the marriage of near
kin sholld he avoided: if Y pod. it NAV
he favored NcithtiHc fmericdh.
