Somewhere I ran across a really interesting article on "Wright's Inbreeding Coefficient", a measure of frequency of allozygous genes (not only homozygous, but same copy). One really interesting piece of information was that the worst possible inbreeding you can perform is parent to offspring, and that sib-sib trails significantly behind this, followed by half-sib pairings. Just something to keep in mind IF you are watching out for the genetic diversity.

lol... I've taken a biology class. It's kind of just the way of things. Humans haven't been breeding ball pythons as long as things like dogs and horses, so we aren't seeing the consequences yet.

It's as simple as asking... do you think it's healthy for humans to inbreed?

You don't think animals inbreed in the wild? You're balls man, you're balls.

I changed the thread title..."public announcement" sounds like there's something important that needs to be known. You're just posting an opinion.

thanks... I only called it that because of the smokey the bear reference. It is just an opinion... bad writers habit... making opinions sound fact.
