Birth Defects Up in Polygamous Area (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060210/ap_on_he_me/polygamy_birth_defects)


A rare, severe birth defect is on the rise in an inbred polygamous community on the Utah-Arizona border, according to a doctor who has treated many of the children.

Intermarriage among close relatives is producing children who have two copies of a recessive gene for a debilitating condition called fumarase deficiency. The enzyme irregularity causes severe mental retardation, epileptic seizures and other effects that often leaves children unable to take care of themselves.

That's why we dug the Grand Canyon, to separate those people from the rest of the state.

They're just trying to remove themselves from the gene pool a bit more quickly.

Let's just hope that they stop before the kids start being born with horns and three arms.

Apparently the kids they're having now are too dumb to **** so natural selection has already solved the problem.

hawt = good
cousin = bad
13 = worse

OR

13 = bad
cousin = worse

The enzyme irregularity causes severe mental retardation, epileptic seizures and other effects that often leaves children unable to take care of themselves and since many of the plural wives are on the dole, the government takes care of them.

FIFY

Sad, these babies didn't need to happen or should have happened.

I think that if Arkansas and Stoolwater want to do this...it's ok as long as they understand that cousin doesn't mean sister. Cousin might not be a good idea either but first things first.

It means she is the daughter of his first cousin - what most folks call second cousins.

And it isn't a single occurrence of cousins marrying, but the continued intermarrying of this small group that causes all the issues.

For those actually interested, here's a good link for defining the terms. http://www.genealogy.com/16_cousn.html
