This is a bizarre story. There's a couple in Germany fighting for their "independence" from persecution of their relationship. They're being persecuted because they're siblings. Yes, they are brother and sister, from the same biological parents. And they've had kids. Four of them, in fact. They want the German incest laws repealed based on it infringing on their human rights. Their lawyers are arguing that only acts which harm society may be made illegal, and incest doesn't harm anyone.
Try telling that to their first two kids, who were born with birth defects and were taken away from them due to the illicitness of their relationship. I presume that either the government (read: everyone) or another couple is bearing the responsibilities of caring for the children. So, it has made a dent in society.
The resulting legal battle could have implications that might tear gaping holes in society.
