2. Do you believe that decisions about reproduction belong to each individual, without government interferance?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

3. Do you agree that there should be no legal restriction on marriage and reproduction for smokers, despite an appx. 2% increase in birth disorders for their offspring?
Prioritize your choice above:
High

Low

4. Do you agree that there should be no legal restrictions against marriage and reproduction because of age, providing the individuals are legal adults, despite significant increase in risk of Down's Syndrome for women over 30?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

5. Individuals who carry genetic disorders such as Marfan's Syndrome and Hemophilia are rightfully allowed to make personal decisions regarding marriage and reproduction, despite a 50/50 chance of passing on the disorder to their offspring. Do you feel there should be restrictions on their freedom of marriage and reproductive rights?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

6. Do you believe that homosexual unions and adoption should be legally permitted, despite strict moral sanctions against it, because religion has no place in politics.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

7. Fact: First cousin marriages increase risks for Autosomal Recessive disorders (the least common type of birth defect) by nearly double. Do you feel that risk is significant enough to warrant discriminatory laws forbidding cousins from marriage and reproductive rights.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

8. Fact: First cousin marriages were legal in all states prior to 1860, and the marriage bans that were imposed later in some states are a direct parallel to the historic miscegeny laws. Cousin marriage bans are still in place in 25 states. Do you believe these laws should be repealed?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

9. Fact: The tenets of every major world religion except Hinduism upholds marriages between first cousins. Although this fact cannot be used for legislative decisions, the misconception that cousin marriage is immoral does affect public opinion, making legislative reform in this area unpopular. Do you feel that politicians should stand on scientifically valid evidence regarding legislative issues, even if it is unpopular?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

10. Fact: 25 states currently prohibit or restrict first cousin marriage and reproductive rights, yet less than half of those states define such relationships as incestuous. Do you feel that to define a relationship as legitimate, yet prohibit the couple from marriage and reproduction is inconsistant and deserving of closer scrutiny?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

11. Fact: Genetic experts make a distiction between "consanguinity" and "incestuous". Cousin marriage is termed as consanguineous. Since the "compelling interest" most prohibitive states rely on for keeping marriage and reproduction rights from these couples is the misunderstanding of the two terms, and fear of birth defects, both of which are unfounded, do you feel the laws forbidding marriage between cousins are discriminatory and should be repealed?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

12. Fact: Constitutional legal analysts, such as Joanna Grossman, and many law professors, agree that there is a strong basis for constitutional challenge to cousin marriage prohibitions. Do you agree with their position?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

13. Fact: Genetic experts, including Robin Bennett, President of the NSGC, and Alan Bittles, co-director of the Centre for Human Genetics, believe that cousin couples should be educated and encouraged to seek genetic counseling prior to marriage, rather than be prohibited from marriage. Do you agree with their position?
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

14. Fact: The NSGC recently established guidelines that stated: beyond a thorough medical family history with follow-up of significant findings, no additional preconception screening is recommended for consanguineous couples. Given this information, do you agree that first cousins should be allowed the same rights to marriage and reproduction that other couples are given?
Prioritize your choice above:
