Apparently there is an absolute “right to sexual self determination.” Hence, the German Ethics Council–no kooks sitting in front of their laptops wearing tin foil pyramid hats–want adult incest legalized. From The Independent story:
Sexual relations between siblings or between parents and their children are forbidden under section 173 of the German criminal code and offenders can face years in prison. But on Wednesday, the German Ethics Council recommended the section be repealed, arguing that the risk of disability in children is not enough to warrant the law and de-criminalising incest would not remove the huge social taboo around it.
What can one say? #nolimits
