Speaking for myself I can not understand how a father could feel that way about his own child, thats sure not a natural feeling to have and no way could I ever condone such behaivour.
I think that the whole parent/child concept is just sick. It also makes me wonder if it truly began after the age of 18.
In cases of siblings, cousins, etc, I'd have to say it doesn't matter as long as there are no offspring. But the parent/child thing bugs me - probably because I know too many people who were abused as children and that keeps sticking in my mind.

Exactly my view.
As far as the parent/child, what if it began suddenly on the child's 18th birthday? I don't see how that changes anything or even if it began when the child was 25, 30, 40, etc. There is ALWAYS a power difference. The fact that the parent controlled the child for 18 years makes the relationship extremely unequal permanently.
The countries specifically who do not prosecute incest in Europe are Spain, France and Portugal. Romania is, evidently going to take the same tact.
My question, with this thread is, should the United States continue to prosecute incest between consenting adults or, should we consider following the lead of these nations and drop such prosecutions?
And, I did not say my wife (as a Physican) condones or condemns. Like I noted before, that is not the Doctors job.
if i were married to you and you were on CDF discussing my caseload i would divorce you so fast you would get whiplash.
france has a very negative view of incest parent/child whether adult child or not, i am in a very good position to say this.

The issue is - should we, as a nation, Criminally Prosecute incest cases involving consenting adults.
And, you are not married to me - and my wife knows I am mentioning this case - and in such broad terms that it violations no rules, regs, ethics etc.

And, I can appreciate your feelings. But, that is not the question posed here:

If it is against the law, it doesn't matter that they are consenting adults. We prosecute whoever carries out assisted suicide, and that is between consenting adults. What is the difference?

Well for one thing - it's murder with the assisted suicide.
As for incest - it's, well - SEX.
Don't know about you but, I see a BIG difference.
The question still is there: Should we Criminally Prosecute consenting adults for incest - for, HAVING SEX?
if backpeddling is a good position , i agree.
i do not believe a medical professional is supporting your advocate post for legalizing incest.
No backpedaling whatsoever.
And, I did not say anything about "legalizing" incest - did I? Let me help - no, I did not.
I asked, and will ask once more, should we continue to CRIMINALLY PROSECUTE consenting adults for incest - for having sex?
And, I will politely ask you not to try to mischaracterize / misrepresent what I have said. Thanks.
