Apparently I'm the weird one here, because I don't find anything wrong with it. Genetically speaking, they should adopt... If it were me, I don't think it would bother me one bit... But I would understand if it bothered my partner (heh it DOES bother my partner.) I mean with all there terrible things that happen in the world its awesome that two people find and love each other. so what if they're incidentally (and unknowingly) related. I think that when you think of incest as gross you're thinking of incest for incests sake... clearly this is not the case here. the fact that they were related wasn't what drew them together (as is the case with the gross kind of incest.) But just as i understand that it grosses nikki out I understand that it grosses you out. It just doesn't seem, to me, like a very pragmatic outlook.
(Surprise, Nikki ;) ) I agree with Mit on this one.

I think something like this is likely to happen with all the invitro fertilizations being done. I know of a couple (both women) who each have had a child from the same donor. That donor has 10 children so far somewhere in this world.

Now, I don't know if I see things differently because I was raised as an only child by a single mother (and I don't know my father, so I could very well have siblings out there somewhere), but I don't really see anything wrong with it. If I was married to a man, and found out he was my half-brother, I don't think that that would change my feelings at all...

I don't believe we choose who we fall in love with, whether it happens to be a family member or not.

However, I do think it's wrong to have children in an incestual, inbred relationship...
