ANd the only basis that you see for imposing reason, science and scoail standards on an otherwise subjective matter is becasue we don't throw babies to wolves? WHat about a society that practices infanticide on some basis (such as gender)?

What about consanguinity? Otherwise, wouldn't we have to permit a mother and her adult daughter to marry (I assume no perverse motives on their part, but rather a desire to avail themselves of tax or employer benefits given only to marrieds)? Past behavior is another (felons can't vote). And what is the basis for denying three or more adults from entering into a polygamous relationship?

Just like a psychiatrist can't have a consensual sexual relationship with an adult patient, a parent can't have a consensual sexual relationship with their adult offspring. |
