Great story but what's with the fixation on fault? It's nobody's fault if a genetic trait is inherited, there's no control over that.



It was the first thing I noticed as well, the blame. It was like "blame the husband" was the terminal state of sorts, solving the issue somehow.

Of course the anecdote is about changing the perspective, but I think there's an obvious elephant in this room as well


You could argue if incest is morally bad then so is procreation when you have negative inheritable traits and know about them. It gets ugly pretty quickly from there though.
