Incest is legal in most European countries, but not in Germany. Strange story. The couple is very selfish because of the danger to their children.

Meanwhile a German girl has been removed from her home and family because she was homeschooled.

German brother and sister are challenging the law against incest so that they can continue their relationship free from the threat of imprisonment. Coming soon to a Massachusetts near you.

Hey the autonomist, libertarian, AynRand monkeys should be in full support of these two and their "noble" effort to be able to bone your siblings.

They say it harks back to the racial hygiene laws of the Third Reich and should be overturned in favour of freedom of choice and sexual determination
Ummm....no. It dates back at least, at the very least, to the Pentateuch. Everybody, every nation and group, has some incest taboo.
To: DeerfieldObserver
Incest laws are to protect the children from devastating birth defects that these couples will have. Spay them both or any who would do this.

"..Incest is not illegal in many of Germany's neighboursing countries, he said. The law was a "historical relic".
Napoleon abolished France's incest laws in 1810. ..."
Ah Ha! Now we know why the French are the way they are, Incest over a long period of time!

The situation is a freak situation because the brother and sister were seperated at birth and didn't meet each other until he was 24.
There is an innate aversion to incest to brothers and sisters who grew up together as children.
To: DeerfieldObserver; LibreOuMort
The couple... grew up separately and only met many years later. There's an old Scottish song (Andy Stewart?) about such a situation. Now it's reality...

Ack! PUKE!
That brother/sister procreation thing really worked out well for the royal family of ancient Egypt, didn't it?
They were conquered by Macedonian Greeks and then wiped out by the Roman Empire.
Inbreeding does not work well.

"They say it harks back to the racial hygiene laws of the Third Reich "
Huh?
Being against incest means you support the Third Reich?
And here I was thinking most of the nuts were here.
To: DeerfieldObserver
Not very smart, especially considering they are Germans. Many Germans have blond hair and blue eyes. Considering both are recessive, this suggests that Germans already sort of tend toward being inbred. This is just asking for a child with a lot of disabilities.

"The situation is a freak situation because the brother and sister were seperated at birth and didn't meet each other until he was 24." Sort of a twist on the Oedipal complex, eh? (Not Canadian, eh just works there).

Before people get offended, South Korean are supposed to be the most homogenous (see inbred) people. Others with a lot of homogenity (lots of inbreeding) are Somalis and Icelanders.
