Judge in Australia says incest may no longer be a taboo and the only reason it is criminal is potential birth abnormalities, which can be solved by abortion
A judge in Australia has been criticised after saying incest may no longer be
a taboo and that the community may now accept consensual sex between adult
siblings.
Judge Garry Neilson, from the district court in the state of New South Wales,
likened incest to homosexuality, which was once regarded as criminal and "unnatural"
but is now widely accepted.
He said incest was now only a crime because it may lead to abnormalities in
offspring but this rationale was increasingly irrelevant because of the
availability of contraception and abortion.
"A jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards
his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with
other men and was now 'available', not having [a] sexual partner," the
judge said.
"If this was the 1950s and you had a jury of 12 men there, which is what
you'd invariably have, they would say it's unnatural for a man to be
interested in another man or a man being interested in a boy.
Those things have gone."
Those things have gone."

Hmmm. Wanna bet the judge has an unattached sister he's got his eye on?
ReplyDeleteWhat a creep, shudder.

DeleteReally.
What this is all leading to is the elimination of Taboos altogether, and we each can be our own little gods deciding for ourselves what is right and wrong... like there weren't sound reasons in the first place for said Taboos (if you read the Old Testament and study Brock's graphic) - nothing new under the sun for sure. People will do what people will do behind closed doors - how would I know if a brother and sister were shacking up unless they publicly declare themselves and want me to be all happy and supportive under penalty of criminal sanctions to do otherwise. Once the 'age of consent' issue is also eliminated, all bets are off.
