Inbred humans live to a ripe old age

Marry your cousin to have long-lived kids? Inbreeding is not usually mooted as the key to longevity, but Giuseppe Passarino of the University of Calabria in Rende, Italy, thinks it might be. "Everyone knows that inbreeding is bad - it increases your chances of catching a range of diseases," he says. "But on the other hand, our study suggests that if inbreds don't get those diseases when they're young, they might have a better chance of long life."

It is true, there is never a good reason to marry your brother/sister, it's forbidden markaa why even discuss it. However, first cousins have been getting married since god knows when.

Hey people there is nothing wrong with marrying your cousin, if you think he is the right man for you. Actually, there is a cousin of mine who is educated and recently received his PHD not that am saying I will marry him, but my mom has been a pain in the b*** yacni yuusan ku dhaafin ninkan.

 

who knows if I cant find another one I might settle for him hahahaa. So, it is a personal choice at the end of the day. Besides, most Somali parents are cousins or closely related. No shame in that.

 

Marry ur cousin Ghanima if you want to, and stop being so defensive icon_razz.gif

 

that is my 2 cent
