I'm rather amused by what I'm seeing on the news. It seems in the States, scientists have been studying the statistics of birth defects among children born to first cousins. It seems that children born to those who were born to....strangers..(is that the right way to put it?)..is run a 3-4% chance of having a birth defect and children who have first cousins as parents run a 5-7% risk of a birth defect.

This only prompts me to question the Royal Family-more than I normally do. Looking at Charlie, it seems to me that that family ran a 17-28% chance...but that's just me guessing...maybe it's higher.
