Brother and Sister Trolled for ‘Making a Baby Together’ Have Science On Their Side

A brother and sister recently announced plans to make a baby together.

The story of Samuel and Bronte Leighton-Dore was presented by many mediaoutlets in an extraordinary way and, had you seen these alone, you might have believed the siblings were in an incestuous, broody relationship.

Many seem to think that, like organs, sperm and eggs can be easily transported into a new home afresh. But each carries a whole injection of personality from its creator.

I blame socialists for the rise in this nurturist thinking; they’ve peddled the idea that babies are a blank slate that can be shaped into anything depending on their environment.
