    No one bothered by the very likely possibility this will lead to consanguineous marriages? Just me?https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/donor-eggs-sperm-banks-and-the-quest-for-good-genes/2017/10/21/64b9bdd0-aaa6-11e7-b3aa-c0e2e1d41e38_story.html?utm_term=.d7cf67c17fcc …

        Upside - increased opportunities to use the word "consanguineous."

        The chance of any birth defects in children of relatives is fairly small.

        You shouldn't worry. If half siblings do marry and procreate, it's not a big deal. No Quasimodos.

        There won't be a thing called marriage by that time. Francis is not wrong but a prophet about the percent of marriages that aren't.

        Cousin Marriage, aka the reason why Pakistanis in the UK run ~10x more likely to have genetic disorders than base.

        Though to be fair, one cousin marriage isn't a problem, it's 1000 years of repeated cousin and double cousin marriage that causes problems.
