I say the government has no right to regulate behaviors unless there is a great deal of societal interest in the law.

Like, say, adultery? I don't imagine that this will suit your whims, somehow.

If you argue that it is not a government interest to increase lifespans, on what basis do you argue that deformed children are a governmental concern? It seems that you're forming your argument to suit your beliefs rather than approaching this inductively. Just my $.02.

Since when does regulating adultery give a great benefit to society? Do you think making it illegal would stop it? Then again, people stopped doing drugs as soon as those were made illegal, didn't they?

So if my dad cheated on my mom, the best thing for all of us is if he was thrown into jail? I'd think counseling for my parents might be better than throwing my dad in jail. Why punish my whole family for my dad's actions?

I have an idea! When someone commits adultery, put them in the stocks for a week and then make them wear a red "A". That's perfect! Maybe we can even throw tomatoes at them.
