"Finally is the issue of performing an abortion to save the mother's life. When it occurs, however, the rationale is not that the fetus is seen to have less value than the mother, but that if no action is taken both will die. Aborting the fetus at least saves the mother's life."*TRUE* said:

From my seriously catholic upbringing, it is to my understanding that no sin is greater than the other, except the denial of God/Jesus. It is the idea that we are ALL sinners. To me, personally, it merely made me feel that I was never in the position to judge others for their sins, as I was a sinner myself.want2bdifferent said:
Nah that's not really why it's such a social taboo... I mean that's one theory but it doesn't really cut the mustard entirely, for me anyway. Other ideas are that if incest were allowed it would destroy the structure of the family unit, children would be less likely to marry outside of their family forming bonds with other 'clans' which strengthen both.inasero said:
And then you've got the fact that people will just pick and choose what they want to believe anyway, I doubt there'd be any one man I could go to who would offer me the same answers to a large list of moral questsions as you would.inasero said:
I don't think that's accurate. It's a social taboo because it's in line with our instinctual and genetic disgust of inbreeding; even if it were legally allowed, and removed as a social taboo, I don't think it would destroy the family unit at all apart from a few and extremely rare (for the main human population) cases.Enteebee said:

You've used fairly odd language here... I mean I'm proposing it as the cause for the social taboo then you're saying if you removed it as a taboo it still wouldn't happen... because it would still be a taboo.Kwayera said:
so what was said to make you reject God?ur_inner_child said:
You can go and declare that all you want but the fact remains that there are problems with such genetic theories as there may be issues with more culture centric theories, which would be why I said his theory doesn't tell the whole picture. I mean... personally I'd tend to want some form of a genetic approach but there's definitely room for debate here.Kwayera said:
