No what is silly is thinking this does not happen in this world.

There are sick people in this world.
If they are having sex with their (input animal here) there argument would be they are in love and should be able to do it the gays can, polygamy is allowed etc etc.
Normal people would never think such a thing but to those into bestiality it is another story

And their argument will never hold any water, because unlike straight/gay/polygamy, animals and children do not have the capacity to consent and will never be proven TO have the capacity to consent.

I concur with Langlen completely. Not only this but imagine the absurdity of adding animal rights into the legal text of a society - a sort of anthropomorphic fallacy argument, all because silly humans want to make a point.

Ethically, I don't have any problem with polygamist marriages as long as it only involves consenting adults. But it does open up a big can of worms.

Would employers be obligated to provide medical coverage to as many husbands/wives are in the family? That could get complicated.

And can you imagine a divorce proceeding if the family decides to split up? Especially if, let's say, 2 contest it, 1 claims physical alienation, etc.. What a legal quagmire!

Or consider if a husband with multiple wives becomes ill. 2 wives want a DNR (do not resuscitate) order in place and 2 will not sign it. What then?

You mightas well change it to:

"Let's all share our totally ridiculous, ignorant opinons about polygamous gay goats marrying incestous pedophile trees."

When you have polygamy, however, one man marries several women -- thus creating a shortage of wives. Consequently, women in polygamous societies are forced into marriage at increasingly younger ages.

I call BS on this... having multiple wives/husbands mean not mean that the only result is others have to have sex with children It means that there are more single adult. Given todays high single population I wonder if we'd even notice..
