Would you fuck your own daughter like localroger says?

On my previous diary entry, two members have been discussing the merits of procreating with one' sown daughter to propagate the species in a post-apocalyptic world. Personally, I wouldn't do it. Not only would I never commit such a reprehensible act, but why must we propagate the species anyway? Why couldn't we just embrace extinction? Would I really want to bring children into a dystopian world. I don't even want to bring children into this world!

You may argue that my genes would compel me to have sex with my daughter, but I disagree. We humans are not merely chemical reactions set in motion by evolution millions of years ago. We can act self-destructively: Why else would people commit suicide, martyr themselves or choose homosexual lifestyles in oppressive nations? Those actions cannot be explained by genetics. Sorry, atheists. We have free wills just as the Christians say.

No, I would not have sex with my daughter even if it meant the end of humanity. Humanity's prolonging would not be worth it.

The lack of genetic diversity would end badly in a few generations.   Just look at inbred dogs.

Instead if there was a nuclear holocaust you would have to both bathe in radiation to encourage mutations.

If you were a geneticist you may have a chance.  But you would have to knock up the poor girl until she dies or enters menopause.

Best bet is to look for someone else's daughter.

my daughter can find her own man to marry and have sex with. Having sex with your own daughter is incest and it is fucked up.

If the end of the world, well this is the end of the world unless we can find another man to marry my daughter and have sex with her. I am sure there are other human survivors out there.

This is a very, very strong 'taboo'. (none / 0) (#3)

Perhaps the strongest cultural prohibition I can think of.  Stronger than brother-sister incest.  Are there cultures were it isn't taboo?

and not just because he's dead.

I make too much sense to be on the Internet.

So how about going the turkey-baster... (none / 0) (#7)

Ah'm from the South and therefore must recuse myself.

Seems like in the blink of an eye we went from 'I tried it but I didn't inhale.' to 'Yes, I smoked crack!'

this does not apply to me, therefore.

but if i did have children, yes, i would allow humanity to go extinct. it's probably for the best.

getting familiar with the narrative trope of the villain who captures or blackmails the heroine, giving her the choice of marrying him or dying. I remember discussing it with other little girls, and we agreed that while having to marry a horrible person would be awful, surely anything was better than dying.

Then eventually you start to get an idea of what marrying a loathsome man in these sorts of stories would entail; a life of enslavement and constant rape by a man you despise and who repulses you, and who would consider it a victory every time. And you start to understand why, sometimes, the heroine chooses death instead.

I make too much sense to be on the Internet.
