Switzerland to vote on incest legality

From here:

Switzerland is considering a repeal its incest laws to make sexual relations between family members legal.

It claims the law is ‘obsolete’ and that the courts have dealt with just three cases since 1984.

The upper house of the Swiss parliament has drafted a law de-criminalising sex between adult consenting family members which must now be considered by the government….

Politicians of both the left and right are outraged at the suggested change. But Green party MP and lawyer Daniel Vischer said he saw nothing wrong with two consenting adults having sex, even if they were related.

The Green MP’s seeing nothing wrong with incest is an apt illustration of what happens when you toss out the foundation upon which right and wrong are based: in this case, Judeo-Christian ethics.

When that is gone, subjectivity replaces it and all it takes to turn a wrong into a right is for someone to see it that way. One wonders what churches will do with this if it passes; will they bless same-sex partnerships between siblings?

One thought on “Switzerland to vote on incest legality

  1. Everything that can be said to support homosexual relationships can also be said to support incest relationships. This is just simply the next step in the overall decline of our society.
