Yes I agree, if you want a big family and you can afford to raise them, that is your choice.
Having children when you know they have a high chance of inheriting faulty genes is wrong, imo. Having multiple children is condemning them to a life of misery.
Having six or seven children, solely in the hope the next one will be a girl is also wrong imo....be thankful of what you have.
The royal family inbred for centuries. Many in other countries too. The queen married Philip a first cousin.
I wonder how many inbreds were either locked away or killed back.in that time, no one would know.
It's common knowledge that 2 of the late queen's cousins were locked away secretly in an asylum.
Crazy, but It's still legal to marry a first cousin in the UK.

Yes they were Queen mothers cousins I think. Blimey, I thought it was illegal to marry first cousin. 😲. Then again it can't be as queen was allowed to marry Philip.

The Queen and Philip were distant cousins, not first cousins. The genetic overlap between individuals at that level is minimal, significantly reducing the risk of passing on recessive genetic disorders compared to marrying a closer relative like a first cousin.

The genetic fault was with the mother's bloodline, and later suspected to be Angelman Syndrome. Their mother was Fenella Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis. Her family had a history of mental illness. In fact, a woman called Anne Tennant was, as a young woman, engaged to John Viscount Althorpe later the Earl Spencer, father of Diana. His father objected to the match on the grounds of "mad blood", as one of her grandmothers was a Trefusis, and the engagement was broken off.

The population in Iceland is so small and intertwined, that they have an app to make sure you're not bonking someone too closely related to you..

There are so many broken families now, I should think the odds of bonking a lost family member is higher than in the past.
That's true. But Iceland was so remote for so long that everyone there is probably 3rd or 4th cousins anyway..
Yes, it must be a shock to realise you are having relations with a relative.
