first lecture Bad things you’ve done

I found this lecture very interesting, funny and must of the things people confessed to were very disturbing. It was very interesting to find out the things that different people have done. I think the worst confession was when someone wrote that they had sex with their sister. This is obviously wrong, it is incest and illegal. But according to the BBC news website for about 300years a significant proportion of all marriages recorded were between brothers and sisters: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6424337.stm. According to research being in an incest relationship and having children with that person can lead to the child having special needs. Moreover some research shows that some genetics put the risk of producing a disabled child as high as 50% but this is hotly debated.
Some experts say that incestual marriages were widespread at least during part of the Egyptian history like as Naphtali Lewis (Life in Egypt under Roman Rule: Oxford, 1983), claims that many papyri attest to many husbands and wives as being brother and sister: http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/incest/history.html. Me personally i think that incest in wrong, this is because I was raised to believe that it is wrong and you should never sleep with your brother or sister. On the other hand this is a hard topic to get around because apart from having children that may have special needs who decided that incest was wrong and why should it be wrong.
