It offers a cross-cultural exploration of practices of cousin marriage in the light of new genetic understanding of consanguineous marriage and its possible health risks. Overall, the volume presents a reflective, interdisciplinary analysis of the social and ethical issues raised by both the discourse of risk in cousin marriage, as well as existing and potential interventions to promote “healthy consanguinity” via new genetic technologies.  Fertility, reproduction, and sexuality ;Volume 28.Cross-cousin marriageGenetic disorderssøskenbarnekteskaptradisjonerslektskapgenetikkgenetiske sykdommerkulturCross-cousin marriage.Genetic disorders.306.84Raz Aviad E.1968-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788189203321Cousin marriages3687240UNINA
