My best friend forever Hailee (No last name to protect her identity) came to me and said she was pregnant. She is a 20 yr old high school dropout. Recently she started this thing with this guy Roger (they were engaged when she notified me of the pregnancy). We just found out that (to all of our amazement and shock) he is her grandmother's brother on her dad's side. Her dad was a one night stand of her mother's, so she never knew the family: just a name. Considering that Hailee never would've thought in all her wildest dreams that her 58 yr old boyfriend (No, I am not looking for rude comments on the age difference, but real help with what to tell Hailee about her baby) would be her dad's uncle, she slept with him and decided to marry him. She's so confused and I don't know what I can do to help her. She wont tell doctors--so I'm hoping for PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS FROM REAL DOCTORS OR PEOPLE WHO KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT BABIES OF INCEST.
Please, help me help her.
Will her baby be deformed or mutated because of the parents sharing DNA? Now remember, it's her grandmother's brother--not her dad or her uncle or her brother--no, not that type of close incest, but a whole generation between them.
