The Disableist Argument for Prohibiting Incest
The inbreeding argument is a flawed justification for prohibiting incest. Bell, Berglson, Cahill and others argue that society should not prohibit conduct where childbirth cannot occur. This suggests there is nothing intrinsically wrong with incestuous intercourse but the possible consequences are such that it should be criminalized. It also stands that two unrelated individuals can engage in sexual relations and create, produce a disabled child. How then can we explain the justification that incest should be prohibited to prevent to prevent disabled to see? Sometimes disability happens anyway, so why should we prohibit incest which has a far higher probability of producing disabledness? Why? The world should we do it?
