OK -- Why are you asking this question??   Do not have s*x with your sibling......

Answer 9

not as badly as once thought.... it does concentrate the gene pool, so certain things are more likely expressed... but not all are bad.

but, of course, it's illegal, so there's that to consider too.                                                

Answer 10

yes to  first question and mating siblings does cause may  problems.  Research it and it may  change your mind.  There is enough problems in this world this is one less we could do without.

Answer 11

It's certainly more likely with incest because the unfavorable genes for what you are referring to as "retarded" now have a higher chance because as siblings there genes are likely to posses the unfavorable trait  

Answer 12

Why do you think that that behavior is ok You already know that its wrong.

Answer 13

Well for one it is really wrong, not to mention gross, to marry any relative. And two, you shouldn't call disabled people "retarded". It isn't their fault they are like that. Why should they have to put up with that name. How would you feel if you were disabled and someone called you retarded?

Answer 14

Just don't. IT is just wrong because it is wrong. thats all. that is like asking why shouldn't you kill your sibling. what wrong with killing them. I think you are retarded

Answer 15

It is incest to marry a sister or brother.  And yes they could be retarded. Why in the world would anyone want to marry their siblings? I know the Amish marry their cousins.
