Along the same vein as Valkyrie pointed to "genetics", why not have testing done to see if a couple carry a recessive gene that will increase the likelihood of any number of diseases-diseases, that will cost the insurance company the school system or government programs for assisted living? There have been children born to such genetically close unions that are "OK". It isn't always a scene from Deliverance.

If it were JUST money, then you would have to include so many other benefits that are handed out. Benefits tied to irresponsible or "risky" behavior. Abuse is inevitable.

Sometimes seeing a grey area simply means it's a grey area. Not that one is unclear about their thinking or their belief system.
It's sometimes harder to show compassion by looking for grey than it is to draw the line because you only see black and white.
Maybe that is where our "humanity" or our conscience comes from, the grey areas.

I want to thank Valkyrie, because she pointed out some things I was not aware of.
