To: The Ghost of FReepers Past

This is a debate i would rather not get into.

All these acts that you mentioned are sick and against basic human nature or accepted social norms.

But then we do believe in individual liberties and keeping the state out of our individual lives.

I would rather that peer and social pressure be used to condemn these issues rather than drag the state into it.

Christianity is for our own good. Every sin has a logical explaination and is there to prevent turmoil and the disintegration of the society.

But then christ himself was very tolerant of others.

Sex with a child or animals would be no different than rape, and as such extremely abusive towards and harming another life.

It just can't be allowed to take place.

Sex within the family ,not only leads to genetic abnormalities, it deeply destroys the reltionships within the basic building unit of a family, that our society is weaved out of.

Again, it can't be allowed to take place.

Sex with another person of the same sex is against basic human nature and the reproductive cyle. It is revolting and could ultimately put a strain on the society.

But what about individual liberties and how far does the state intrude into a person's personal life.

these practices have in the past been held in check more so by social taboos than state control.

i don't want to get into this debate, yet.

What 'right' does someone have to spread a deadly disease?

It does not lead to genetic abnormalities, it leads to a greater opportunity for existing genetic abnormalities to be expressed. Anytime two people reproduce there is the possibility of genetic abnormality to occur.
The reason it occurs with human beings so often, or appears to occur so often is because we don't kill aberattions, medicine can mask or hide an infirmaty allowing an individual who carries such a mutation to breed, finally human beings live past their normal reproductive years and continue to reproduce not allowing heart disease, diabetes, cancers, etc, etc, to be "bred out" of the human genome.
But then you must take the Hardy-Weinberg Hypothesis into consideration. That states there is a 1.27% chance per gene synapse of mutation to occur.
