Prager: "There's no secular argument against adult incest. Brother and sister want to make love, what's your argument? That they're going to produce mentally ret0rded offspring? That's nonsense. It takes many generations of inbreeding to do that."

    If, to create a more difficult example than “don’t fuck your twin brother”, some guy has a condition where all of his sperm are super mutated and produce a drastically deformed child, if for some reason he has some egotistical need to father children anyway, you should tell him not to.

    If this was a 100% percent chance, yes. But even then: birth control takes care of this problem. If it's a less than 100% chance, where do you draw the line?

    It’s like calling it eugenics to say that someone with a severe motor disability should not be a pilot (in a society where pilots are paid well).

    This is a bad comparison. Sex is an integral part of life, being a pilot ain't. I also don't want the pilot that can't actually steer the plane, sure, but who am I to stop him from fucking?

    It’s not aobut your fundamental worth, it’s about the fact you’ll get people fucking killed!.

    This just opens a tray of cans of worms, honestly. Like how far do you wanna extend this? What if my progeny becomes a cop? Am I culpable?
