Father and Daughter Have a Child Together

Above are John and Jenny Deaves. They are a couple, and they are father and daughter. By having an incest relationship they produced a daughter named Celeste.
The reason I am posting this story is to highlight the hypocrisy of many around the world who would say it’s okay for Thomas Beatie to have a baby, but not okay for this incest couple to have a baby. Thomas Beatie is a woman who calls herself a man, and is now having a baby thanks to a sperm bank. Beatie was even allowed to marry a woman. Beatie also had her breasts removed so she cannot breast feed. Most experts know that human breast milk is necessary for a strong immune system, and provides nutrients critical to brain development, and those nutrients cannot be found in any formula, or other form of breast milk. The two most important nutrients are EPA and DHA. EPA helps nerve growth in fetuses and young infants. DHA has been found to improve visual acuity and neuromental development in premature, and mature infants. EPA and DHA are derived from long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and are considered esential to fetuses, infants, children and adults. Asian women, particularly those that ate large amounts of fish during their pregnancy, and while breast feeding, have children who demonstrate a higher IQ, as well as none of the problems associated with babies who did not receive human breast milk, or received human breast milk that lacked sufficeint amounts of omega-3. Besides the developmental difficulties this child will suffer from not breast feeding, the child will also have to deal with people who constantly question the fact that she has two mothers, especially since one mother dresses like a man, and takes testosterone shots.
Many in the gay community say that Beatie and her wife should be allowed to do what they are doing, that two men or two women should be allowed to marry, and even have children either themselves, or with a surrogate. The same gay community has come out against a father and his daughter having a baby together on the gay blogs today. I find this to be the highest form of intolerance, and hypocrisy. It is typical that gay bloggers, and many, but not all, from the gay community, would be intolerant to incest, but okay with so many other lifestyles that others consider wrong, yet tolerate. It seems the same people who yelled loudly for Beatie to be left alone, are now yelling about how wrong an incest relationship is. Hypocrites.
The similarity between the incest couple, and Beatie and her wife, is that both couples chose to have a child despite the fact that child will always feel like an outsider because people won’t accept what their parents have done, no matter how much they try to force people to accept them. People can’t help but notice differences, and can’t help but point out those differences. The child from both couples will be ridiculed throughout life, and it’s sad. The parents in both cases are irresponsible, and selfish. People need to think first before having a child. What both of these couples did was wrong, because a child will suffer because of their selfishness.
Most people won’t object to a heterosexual couple getting fertility help, but will if it’s a gay or lesbian couple, and will also frown on incest relationships. The reason for this is because heterosexual couples fit in with the majority, and are therefore considered by everyone to be natural, and normal. Gay, lesbian, and incest couples have to fight to be accepted, so when they have children they know the child will also have to fight their entire life to be accepted. This is why I believe gay, lesbian, and incest couples should not be so selfish as to have a child they know will suffer because of their decision.
The Daily Telegraph reports below:
A SOUTH Australian father and daughter have revealed they are a couple, and have had a child together.
John and Jenny Deaves reunited 30 years after Mr Deaves separated from Jenny’s mother.
Jenny was 31 and just two weeks after meeting, father and daughter had sex.
"John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults," Mrs Deaves told the Nine Network’s 60 Minutes tonight.
"We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."
Their nine-month-old daughter Celeste, shown on TV, appears fit and healthy.
Mrs Deaves said soon after reuniting with her father she began to see him as a man first and her father second.
"I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he’s not too bad," she said.
"Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub."
Mrs Deaves brought two children, Samantha and Alex, into the relationship after splitting from her former partner.
Mr Deaves admitted that he "initially" thought having sex with his daughter was wrong.
"Emotions take over, as people no doubt realize, there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart, it rules the head," he said.
"I knew it was illegal, of course I knew it was illegal but you know, so what."
Mrs Deaves said the physical relationship with her father was like "a sexual relationship with any other man".
For Mr Deaves the sexual relationship was "absolutely fantastic".
A South Australian police media spokesman said "the couple is being monitored".
Update 4-7: Judge Millsteed said today:
"This is not a case where a father has violated his daughter and used his position of authority to take advantage of her powerlessness. … this is a case of a mutually consensual union, formed by adults, who had previously had little contact. … the offence of incest exists not merely to protect children from sexual abuse. In my view, other relevant factors include the need to prevent the high risk of congenital defects of children born of incestuous relationships and to prevent children, who are brought up in a family unit founded on an incestuous relationship, from suffering psychological harm and social stigmatisation. Those factors assume significance in this case."
The judge agrees with my position that an incest relationship will cause children from that relationship to suffer "psychological harm and social stigmatisation." The same is true with children who result from gay, lesbian, and transgender relationships. Gay rights is not in danger, the children are in danger of "psychological harm and social stigmatisation." No one is saying Gays can’t have relationships with each other, just don’t go to a sperm bank, or hire a surrogate, to bring a baby into that relationship, because it can cause "psychological harm and social stigmatisation," just like an incest relationship can.

I think you’re daft. Incest is stigmatized because of the probability for birth defects. It’s sad that that doesn’t seem to register for you as the main reason why incest is wrong. As far as Thomas Beattie goes, crazy/odd/damaged people have babies everyday. For all we know, the environment in which her baby grows up could end up being more supportive and nurturing than the environment in which you or I have. You completely miss points.
i have been a reader of this site for some time now and am absolutely blown away by what i’ve just read.
incestual relationships and relationships involving transgender individuals are apples and oranges. i am not a supporter of thomas beatie and am, frankly, tired of hearing about him but i cannot begin to comprehend the comparison between his situation and incest. i realize the point of the argument/comparison is the children that have resulted or will result from the relationships but i find the comparison disturbing and dangerous.
furthermore, i reject the notion that the child will suffer “development difficulties from not breast feeding.” yes, it is a fact that breast milk is the optimal choice, but there are countless mothers who, for one reason or another, choose not to breastfeed and their children do not suffer as a result.
This seems like a straight forward case of attention seeking behaviour on both couple’s part. Not to mention, both couples appear to have benefitted financially for their 15 min in the spotlight.
The Australian couple previously had a child that died of congenital defects (high risk in cases of incestual coupling), so they knowingly took another gamble with the second child’s health that was not necessary.
It is not our business who folks choose to sleep with. But it is selfish to introduce children with a high risk of ongoing health issues when the world is struggling with an exploding population. Funny how you need a license to own a dog, but anyone can have a child…
dont you think it is hypocrisy as well, that you are a man as well who sin? why single out problems like this when a straight couple even commit mistakes in taking care of their children… do all non-incest straight relationship raise up their children perfectly?
well, if one think that this kid’s life has been devastated already, can you think WHO really DESTROYED this child’s life, is it the PARENTS who MAY or MAY not love them purely, or the SOCIETY?
People who is disgusted and look at something that many of us consider as wrong and then judge, then that is hypocrisy…
the child has already been born and you can’t undo what has been done, so rather than saying this child will be made fun of for the rest of her life, teach your own kids to accept that this kid is no different than anyone else who deserves respect from everyone!
I think this is a very logical, neat and clear explanation.
The hypocrisy is obvious and ironic. Especially seeing how those gay bloggers jump to be “fighters of moral” in this situation. The moral is bad when it is against you, but it is good when you agree with it. Come on!
I think the issue here should not be about what is “normal” or not. As you see, what is normal changes from the point you are looking at it. But if there is a third party-the child- involved, who does not have anything to say about her future and will most likely be affected because of these people’s behaviour; then there is something wrong. They do not have the right to devastate someone’s life, that someone can not do anything for.
Again, very well explained. I will be following up your blog from now on.
