“El Hechizado,” or “the bewitched,” as Charles II was dubbed for his overlarge tongue, epilepsy and other illnesses, had a whopping inbreeding coefficient of .25, about the same as the offspring of two siblings. (Charles’ mother and father were, in fact, niece and uncle, so this higher value indicates his parents were substantially inbred themselves.) Four years before Charles’ death, British envoy Alexander Stanhope described the king’s Habsburg features in a letter to the Duke of Shrewsbury, writing, “He has a ravenous stomach, and swallows all he eats whole, for his nether jaw stands so much out, that his two rows of teeth cannot meet.”

It is actually legal in 15 or so US states. Cousin marriage accounts for a majority of marriages in human history as well. Estimates are upward of 80%.

The closer the kin the deeper it goes in

He did the same with Maple Syrup Urine Disease, a recessive and potentially fatal metabolic disorder named for the sweetish odor it lends to bodily fluids like urine and earwax.
Before the clinic, the disease carried a 60 percent morbidity rate with local Mennonites -- 1 in 100 of whom are born with it, compared to 1 in 180,000 worldwide.
The clinic has since treated more than 110 Mennonite children and eliminated the death rate altogether

I fricked my 3rd cousin. You’d think I would’ve learned after the first two.

It’s tradition in the Middle East.

Some of those countries have whole monarchies that were nothing but cousin-marriages in order to sustain themselves.
Yep, it was to consolidate/not lose wealth, and to maybe prevent wars since everyone was related, right?
Many of the monarchs at the start of WWI were all cousins to each other. King George and Tsar Alexander, whose kid was a hemophiliac, could pass for brothers.

That’s why you see so many old money blue blood types that are ugly as frick. Less strict families have allowed marriage to more attractive (but lesser born) mates to improve the appearance of offspring.

I’d rather hear them sounding the alarm on gender dysmorphia being socially acceptable all of the sudden.
