You should not assume anything at all, specifically about what I believe in. True. However, I can give you benefit of the doubt and assume you are logical and rational.
If you can present no rational argument as to why a sterile adult father and sterile adult daughter should not get married then I assume you would act rational and say it would be ok. If this is not the case and you are not a rational thinker, please forgive me.
Note: We are not talking about what YOU would do with your daughters. We are talking about OTHER people who are doing others no harm.

You want me to make a rational argument to debate an irrational question?
Well, we can begin by asking ourselves just exactly what percentage of the population out there would A) be sterile, B) want to marry one of their children, and C) be sterile and want to marry one of their children.
Once you figure out what that infinitesimal percentage would be, then we can talk about the fact that these are insignificant numbers in respect to the general population at large, and that laws cannot be enacted that will be 100% rational, 100% of the time.
I would like to also point out that while it has always been perfectly fine for a man and a woman to have sex, it has never led to a man having sex with a minor child, and while it has also been perfectly normal for a man to marry a woman, this has never led to a general acceptance of a man marrying his daughter.
How is that relevant?
It's about as relevant as raising the specter of incestous marriages on a debate about consensual sex between unrelated adults.
However, and if you can't see the difference between a father/daughter incestous relationship, and two unrelated adults engaging in consensual sex, then I would say that I am not the one being irrational here.
