You know how I think about laws that criminalize sexual acts that only involve consenting parties... BS!
Agreed but this isn't such a case. He was a father before, he had those responsibilities and should have considered how this would affect his children.

Almost any incest case in the media is about people who have been separated as kids or at keast that have not seen each other in several years.
What about the couples that have known each other all their adult lives, would you condemn them?

Ok, the whole thing with the higher risk that children are born disabled makes a point.
Yes, a significant point and contraception can fail but it's not just about the physical risks, how would the child be affected mentally, by having her grandfather also be her father?

Of course, one could suppress one's feelings and lead an unhappy life in order to not upset anyone with a closer mind.
It's not about upsetting people but doing what's right for the children involved. Yes, for that sometimes people should suppress their desires. It strikes me as incredibly selfish to do otherwise.
