Lets have a serious conversation:
Devil's Advocate: Why should the state be allowed to prevent you from marrying your sister or first cousin? What if they are infertile? Wouldn't this be a restriction of your pursuit of happiness?
Regrettably, I’m not interested in having a serious conversation on the internet.
My opinion isn’t based on procreation or biology, it’s about keeping sex out of the family unit and the complications that sex among blood-related family members can create.
Besides, the Pursuit of Happiness should be kept within the bounds of sense and reason. Otherwise it’s simply the pursuit of pleasure. A distinction should always be made.
Aside from making sure I don’t marry my sister, or first cousin, I can find no reason for the state to be involved at all.
