[QUOTE=bm bradley;14119439][QUOTE=Pleasurepays;14119418]was listening to an interview with a university professor who had spent quite a few years studying this issue.
basically, fundamentalist mormon groups (some) keep inbreeding and passing a gene that causes a disease that results in severe mental retardation of the child. in addition to that, the children need considerable medical care which comes of course, largely at the cost of the state and tax payers.
its an interesting ethical issue... should you have a child if you know it will be severely retarded? should you do it at the expense of tax payers?
