How common do you think this is?

I was watching and episode of CSI Miami and there was a man who had a double life, a daughter with one wife and a son with another. The kids met at a party hooked up, she got pregnant and then they found out they were siblings. (they killed their dad in the show) They were in love and wanted to keep the baby, they killed him because he was trying to force her to have an abortion.

Do you think this kind of thing is common, siblings being together and not knowing? Some men father many different children, would it be likely they meet and wind up together?

Do you think in a situation like that, that an abortion should be had? I am pro choice, women should do as they please but not all women want to abort not healthy fetuses...so is it any different if it's a baby with any other abnormality or a baby who is a product of incest?

I was always under the impression that inbreeding is only likely to have negative effects when it goes on for generations. The fact that each of these people already have different mothers I think the baby would most likely come out fine. People's problems with incest are more of a cultural view.

I dont think its that common. But i know it definately happens. There was a news story? Or maybe it was on Private practice? or Greys? Or something....... but the boyfriend found out that they were related and never told the girlfriend. A-hole.

I don't know. Joffrey is kind of a messed up little psycho and I think it is because of the inbreeding.

Idk, I think Joff has daddy issues and his mother spoiled him rotten.

LOL! That may be more likely. He is such a sadist

I was trying to figure out who Joffrey was and I just put it together lol. I think there's plenty wrong in the family for him to come about without blaming it on incest.

I don't think the whole siblings being together is all that common unless you're in a tight-knit community with a lot of skeletons in the closet, but were you around the day I shared my story how my sister almost dated the man we now realize is our half-brother? So glad she didn't go down that road!
