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.

[Gay State Conservative]

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.

Losertarian Ping...

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.

[Lee N. Field]

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.

[YOUGOTIT]

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.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..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!

[sionnsar]

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...

[bannie]

Gott im Himmel.

Das ist sehr schlecht!

[LibKill]

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.

[ShawTaylor]

"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.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

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.

[coconutt2000]

One or the other should undergo a procedure to eliminate the possibility to have children as a result of their conjugation.

But ewww.. disgusting.

[derllak]

She's 22 and has 4 kids? She needs to learn to do something else besides procreate. Sounds like this poor girl doesn't get out much.

[DaiHuy]

I guess they truly give new meaning to "rolling your own"

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Years ago I volunteered to provide physical therapy for developmentally disabled children.

One of the boys turned out to be a product of a brother-sister union - just a total mess.

I didn't last long in that particular volunteer unit...

[ozzymandus]

Incest is illegal in Germany. That's why they're fighting to repeal the law. They should move to France.

[capt. norm]

Incest is legal in most European countries.

But home schooling is not.

Go figure.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Three of the children are in foster care, and two have unspecified disabilities.

No fooling. Talk about total selfishness on the part of these idiot so-called "parents". Sterilization isn't good enough for either of them.

[IYellAtMyTV]

[FairOpinion]

They already have four children.
