Not to diminish this but the ‘Nature or Nurture’ psychologists are going to have a field day with these poor kids.

Yeah, I certainly don't want to seem like I don't care about these kids, but they do offer an incredible opportunity for a case study. Maybe some good can come from this whole thing.

As to another poster's comment, the health problems from inbreeding are probably pretty minimal if they've survived to be teens. The risk of genetic problems from incest is actually far lower than one would expect, and most problems that crop up would be fatal during the pregnancy or during infant development.
