Who would have guessed: "Discourage first cousin marriages to check the likely increase of genetic diseases..."
"The rate of consanguineous marriages is quite high in this part of the world and has to go down if the incidence of genetic diseases including heart problems has [sic] to come down..."
Will this warning be taken seriously or not?

"A government minister has warned that inbreeding among immigrants is causing a surge in birth defects - comments likely to spark a new row over the place of Muslims in British society. "
"...British Pakistanis are responsible for 3% of all births, they account for one in three British children born with genetic illnesses."
So will the warning be heeded, Vermindust?
