First cousins can have perfectly healthy children. An average couple have a 1.2 to 3 percent chance of having children with a birth defect or genetic disease, while first cousins chance will only two fold meaning the chances of birth defects will only be around 2 to 6 percent. Even at it's worst 7% you still have a 93 % chance of having a perfectly healthy child. No one questions the right of people with genetic disorders to have children,even though some have far higher levels than first cousins. For example people with Huntington's disease a neurological disorder that affects people after they reach adulthood, have a 50% chance of passing the disease to their children.

∙ 12y agoCertainly. Second cousins, first cousins, even siblings can make babies f one is male and the other female. The question is, should they make babies. Most societies agree that siblings should not. There is disagreement about first cousins, but most societies would be accepting of second cousins doing that.
