We know for a fact that if both of your parents have African ancestry you have a higher risk of sickle-cell anemia, and if both your parents are Ashkenazi Jews you have a higher risk of Tay-Sachs. Should they also not be allowed to have children with each other? Frankly I find the notion shocking.
- User23 5y agoThere is no ethical alternative to voluntary assortative mating unless you want to legalize nonconsensual sex.
- emodendroket 5y agoWell the other one would be forced sterilizations but that doesn’t sound a lot better.
- darkerside 5y agoI think all anyone is talking about here is awareness of the likelihood. Sounds reasonable to me.
