Ok, Let’s get serious here. On my way to work I was listening to my favorite radio talk show which is z100 the morning zoo with Elvis Duran and they mention this topic I am going to discuss with you right now. Scientist say that it’s ok to marry your first-cousin. In fact, most babies born to a first-cousin are healthy! Yep, believe it or not if you are in love with any of your cousin and thought it was wrong to be in any kind of relationship with them well guess what? Your wrong! Btw, My feature picture has nothing to do with the topic. haha!
Prof Bittles reviewed 48 studies from 11 countries and found that the risks of birth defects rose from about 2 per cent in the general population to 4 per cent in consanguineous or same blood couples.
He found that only 1.2 per cent suffered higher infant mortality rates, a find similar to another review from 2002 that suggested first-cousin children are less than 3 per cent more likely to have genetic deformities.
Let see what other people have to say about this. For more information please click Here
