For. Incest should be illegal for two reasons. First, it increases genetic defects in offspring. Second, the state should desexualize familial relationships through its criminal law so that citizens have at least one legally enforced "safe space" where they're not viewed as sexual objects. |

Didn't really expect your vote for this one! In my defence, I will say that should this repeal pass, it will open up a big policy area for new players to have a crack at legislating on. As much as people complain about players trying to repeal everything, doing so is the only way of giving people a chance at legislating those topics.
This is an interesting argument, but I wanted to keep the repeal as simple as possible. |

Furthermore, it's not true - incest laws don't prevent 'biologically unrelated individuals' from sexualising relationships in most cases. So a lot of families would not be legally guaranteed 'safe zones'. Perhaps said countries need to approach issues with sexuality, if you need 'safe zones' from it.

Dollars to doughnuts some of the drafts introduced will also legalize incest - whether intentionally or not. Nonetheless, I have voted FOR this repeal, because cousin-loving space aliens. |

What on earth are you talking about? Incest: n. sexual intercourse between people who are very closely related. |
