I thought i had heard it all until I came across this article in a swedish paper. I am sure you will not understand a word, but atleast there are pictures =) http://aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,1016664,00.html A man and a woman have 4 children togehter, so far so good. BUT they are brother and sister! They say that since they were separated at bith they don“t see it like that BUT they still share the same genes. So, they have 4 children, 3 of whom the government has taken since they feel that this is not an enviroment for kids, and the man has also been in prison since insect is illegal in Germany were they live. They also say that one of the children has epelepsia, and the other one is "disabled" but that has nothing to do with the fact that they are brother and sister.. So I ask - Has the world gone crazy???

it has happened before, that children separated at birth end up meeting and falling in love. but when they find out that should be the end of it because they share the same genes and there has been many cases of children being born with deformities or disabilites because a brother and sister bear them. it would be difficult if you thing about it, you meet a guy and fall in love...only to find out later its your brother...that SHOULD be the end of it right there from a moral standpoint but i guess some keep trying to stay together... very sad for the kids...

Holy crap! I am shaking my head on this one Marie! How can these people not believe that their children have not been effected by the fact that their parents are siblings? These two need to have their heads examined.

The world is nuts. Have you ever watched the Jerry Springer show? It is amazing that people can be clasified as humans. They are worse than an animal, so to call them an animal, is an exaggeration of praise.

I agree with you, no man or woman that are normal would act like this.

How can they possibly do that? I mean, being separated from each other at birth is not an excuse at all. I don't know how to respond with this discussion really. From what I know, even first degree cousins are not allowed. So how can the sister and brother be allowed too. The world might have been going crazy nowadays. Old folks had this old traditional belief that when you are involved with incest, there would be a higher possiblity that they will not be blessed with their children. :)

I think that it is totally sick and I also find it strange that he got put in jail for breaking the law - but not her--

Well, yes this world has definetly gone crazy. Even if there is no physical ramifications, having relations with your family is just wrong.

The answer is YES!!! It does seem like the world is going crazy with all the nonsense going on. This is just disgusting...I don't care what excuses they have and they need to STOP having children!!! If you are going to be like that, they ought to atleast make the woman get her tubes tied....YUCK...YUCK...YUCK!!
