If two twin sisters who are both 18 years old and they both want to marry eachother I think legally they should be allowed to do it because what they’re doing isn’t hurting anybody.

If a brother and a sister who are both consenting adults and they both want to marry eachother I think legally they should be allow to do it as long as the brother gets a vasectomy so that they do not have any kids together. Because what they’re doing isn’t hurting anybody.

I agree that incest is weird and gross which is why I personally would never do that but I don’t think that it’s morally wrong as long its between siblings that are both consenting adults and they do not have any kids together because what they’re doing is completely harmless and isn’t hurting anybody. So they deserve to have the right the right to marry eachother if they want to just like everyone else that isn’t related to their spouse.

    But it isn’t, because sometimes people are a credible danger to others before they do anything, if they’re not in possession of their faculties, ie suffering from a psychiatric condition.

    If you happen to do a crime while under a psychiatric condition, you can use that as a criminal defense, because your judgment was impaired.

    Therefore it’s up to society to try and take people to a hold if we deem their judgement to be compromised.

    Yes, it’s been used for political means as well, and having an incest fetish isn’t enough to warrant such action. But for say a pedophile who has had trouble controlling themselves before…? Well, they’re usually banned from going to places like near schools and whatnot.

    But for someone say with a violent history and a bipolar disorder? If they start exhibiting signs of mania and perhaps aggression, it’d be well within reason to put them on a forced psychiatric hold — for the safety of others — even if they hadn’t “done anything wrong”.

      I agree with you that if a pedophile is constantly hanging out with pre pubescent children. They should immediately go get therapy so that they don’t molest them.

      But if a pedophile is just having fantasies in his head of molesting pre pubescent children but never actually molest them. Then I think it should just be up to them if they want to go get therapy for it or not.
