I thought it said there was like a 2-3% higher chance than "normal" parents-who are at 3% already? So what, their chance for a fubared kid is 3.03%? Doesnt sound that bad neov.

I think I just heard a big sigh of relief emit from the State of West Virginia

actually according to Korean Law my wife and I aren't allowed to marry. we did it via International Marriage License via the American consulate.

Didn't they pass a law recently that allowed people with the same last names from the same clans to marry?

ya, it's legal now, but that keeps changing. they go thru this every few years. but it's still not accepted socially by a lot of the traditional people. my wifes relatives don't know what my clan is. :)

I thought the birth defects only kick in after the first few (third and on...)? Well anyways, it seemed like it when my History teacher told us that much of the Spanish hierarchy was made up of big-headed retards. :D
