They might find a particular marker or something that indicates you may have a predisposition or high likelihood of breast cancer or Alzheimer's.... What could go wrong?

> Just throw thousands of years old ‘institution’ over the side?
Humans apparently were reproducing and more or less thriving successefully for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the ‘institution’ ... just saying...
I did enjoy my membership in INTERTEL, those members while smarter than Mensans didn't seem to have that smugness. After a couple decades I decided I could not longer justify spending the $ for renewal so dropped out. The monthly INTERTEL journal was good reading. I even contributed a monthly Cryptogram challenge back in the 80's. They knew how to enjoy each other.
The MENSA magazine had far too many personal advertisements. One of them I actually responded to.
There was very nice looking blond member seeking a sperm donor. I fit her listed requirements, so send in my "resume?" She wanted a "natural" insemination, which I was willing to force myself to perform until successful. (As I said, she was a pretty blond. My preference is petite beautiful Asian spinners.)
Bottom line. She never wrote back. Maybe in the medical information portion of her application I should have left off my Vasectomy.
Huh.
I see that you carefully avoided thinking before you posted your reply.
I was speaking specifically about the ‘ tution’ of a man raising all his children as his own, even if there was some question.
haha woops probably and imho that may have been happening a lot longer than just thousands of years
That was my point,.
It listed the childrens name as John Lewis, my brothers name, next on the list John Woodward my sons name! I looked at my brother and said, The Lewis' and Woodwards came over on the same ship?
And when something innocuous that you do becomes illegal, you just put yourself in prison.
CSM on the X-Files was absolutely correct: “Trust No-One.”
Hopefully they'll also provide me with enough aluminum foil for fresh hats frequently.
I worked with a fellow that had a sister.
They both married into the same family that had a sister and brother; making his sister also his sister-in-law!
The kids of each set of parents; though cousins; were genetically like siblings to one another??
That's the last puzzle in the paper I do every day!
Most of the time I do not use the clue.
You dog!
I was young when I got my vasectomy.
And, apparently, a doofus.
I started dating this lady after my divorce and told her of the operation.
She asked, “Can I see where?”
I said, Yes”, and we drove past the doctors office.
Thank you, thank you very much.
I am not sure that you can call 2 brothers marrying 2 sisters an anomaly, although I thought the same thing first time I ran into it. I am trying to untangle our family tree for a 3rd cousin who doesn’t know the identity of his birth father and I keep running into “sibling of one marrying sibling of the other” and lord does it skew the DNA. I knew he belonged on the maternal side of my Mother’s family, but got thrown when I realized that he was also pulling from a cousin’s paternal side and that brothers had married into two generations of my maternal side. These people were prolific too, so I am wading through couples having twelve children and the children turning around having twelve children also.
DNA has been an absolute game changer for adopted children and those who don’t know their birth fathers. I did find my cousin’s daughter that no one knew about and they are now happily forging a relationship. The daughter was looking and I was nosy enough to inquire when she came up as a match. Didn’t even cross my mind that she was my cousin’s child.
I got my DNA tested this year. I soon found cousins (dozens) and seven half-sisters from my two sides of my birth parents.
A cousin on my mother’s side organized a reunion in California, which my wife and I attended. Very striking to find out my daughter looks like my mother. My mother was a big science fiction fan, as I am. My father was a statistician like me and wrote a book of philosophy.
I’ve written six books and two are being edited now.
Yeah, and avoid doctors and dentists, you'll just get bad news.
Heck, you might even find out your are your own grandpa!
And that's a good thing, since your dad and mom are both the very dark hair-very light skinned Welsh genotypes aren't they? 8<)
