Married Couple are brother and sisterFull story - here
Imagine what they're going through. It does make a compelling argument for people finding out who their biological parents are.

I can't even begin to imagine how they both must be feeling. This is a horrendous situation to find yourself in, and I'd say that they will both probably end up needing some counciling to recover from it.

That sounds really really sad
I cannot even imagine how they must be feeling.
Its the first time that I have heard of something like that, I have heard of cousins marrying eachother, but not brother and sister.

Imagine the implications if they'd had kids. How would they sort that out - not to mention the health problems those kids could have had.

Thats dreadful. I feel really sorry for the couple, must be going through a devastating time. Good to see they are trying to increase the rights for children to find out who there real parents are.

thats bad, i've heard of long lost relatives finding each other and being attracted to each other because of shared genes but if you didn't know and thought you'd found your soulmate then that would be terrible

It really doesn't bear thinking about does it? I can't even begin to imagine what on earth they must be thinking and feeling right now. This is going to be with them and affect them for the rest of their lives. A truly horrible situation to be in.

I've done a fair bit of reading on this topic, and apparently the risk of abnormalities is barely higher than any "normal" couple. I think the problems start with 2nd and 3rd generation incest for some reason.

^Yes isn't that what happened with the Egyptian dynasty?

^No Di!
There was a geet big spaceship landed on a Pyramid and then the alien spaceship driver enslaved the Egyptians and made them work in mines on another planet. I watched a documentary about it once with James Spader and Kurt Russell narrating.
