Topic	Tennessee Republican representative argues for cousins to get married.
Foppe 04/14/24 8:15:34 AM #37:	wackyteen posted... Usually the (non-ick) reasoning for denying cousin marriage is because of the (remote) possibility of birth defects. Children of first-cousin marriages have a 4-6% risk of autosomal recessive genetic disorders compared to the 3% of the children of totally unrelated parents. You get around the same risk when you pass 40. The problem starts when you keep doing it for more generations. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
