Hi! I have difficault to see why inbreathing is so horrible (I´m not for it, just interested in the question because it´s so tabu). If a daughter have a baby with her father the baby isn´t really going to be a "freak". I can understand that if this go on for generations it could perhaps be a problem because of the recessive genes. My question is really if inbresthing is a sufficient cause to "bad" genes (I mean it ought to be almost as many "good" genes, plus the recessive genes dosn´t make there concrete appearence before many generations or?) ? Happy easter! (excuse my bad english).
