Interbreeding
Save lives
Genetic background of the interbreeding is contradictory to every natural and moral law, but yet, today we face many of these situations. Interbreeding is present for purifying lines of animals characterized as pets, or working animals to enhance their abilities and characteristics and finally for entertainment as it is the case for racing dogs and horses for example. To be aware of problems and suffering behind this expensive sport and entertainment overall we have to be brave enough and face the truth.
Every born animal and healthy enough to survive and reach its full potential is just one among many others who had severe health problems, were euthanized or died naturally after suffering. Genetically close lines of animals, crossed within family lines have the greatest percentage of the same genes, including genes wearing the same diseases, allergies, etc.
When two individuals with the same sets of these genes meet and have offspring, most of them will wear severe problems and even new ones since these complications will go further. Besides problems with animals, we must face problems within families in today’s human society since many religions allow interbreeding and even consider it desirable. Regardless of the religious type, the result is what matters. With enough knowledge about the side effects of interbreeding, the population can become aware and risks decreased by stopping it.
Besides law regulations and moral guidelines, unfortunately, there are still too many cases of interbreeding in families. Some religions, even consider it desirable and cousins get marry and have kids. The majority of kids from these marriages are born with major health issues which will be shown sooner or later. Some even think that the paternal side of the cousin relationship is closer and should be avoided while maternal is allowed.
By education and providing enough proves, it is possible to educate people to see equality in these relations, genetic overlapping no matter the mother's or father's side in cousin relations. The tests are very simple these days and don’t cost a fortune. Every genetic and the majority of general medical laboratories can provide evidence. The question is, are new generations willing to learn the path of truth and protect life, save a life?
