The odds of some familial-related congenital defect (including development disorders) for first cousins is on average only like four times greater than non-blood relatives. Not even close to sibling or parent-child. I have a first cousin that I would've hit, until she had like four children before the age of 25 and started looking more like 50.

this show claimed 10x, and when these families are popping out half a dozen kids its like playing Russian Roulette, only instead of passing the gun after the first trigger pull, they keep pulling the trigger

Its still a problem, they have to pay for their treatment, remember its a nanny state, more in line is more wait for everyone...

I expect if its a one off its no big deal...but when you start marrying your cousins on a regular basis it has a compounding effect.

Guy I used to work with married his 1st cousin (Pakistani Muslim if that matters). We all found out AT the wedding, so there was a lot of whispering going on. That being said, they have 2 BEAUTIFUL daughters that are perfectly healthy.
