   Generally, inbreeding is more common in the southeast region of the U.S.   
   and more rural states.   
      
   Most Inbred States [Updated March 2023]   
   Inbreeding is the production of offspring from the mating of individuals   
   who are closely related. Inbreeding is taboo worldwide due to the high   
   potential for sexual abuse, especially child abuse, and lasting trauma.   
   Additionally, the chances of inheriting genetic disease significantly   
   increase among children who are the result of inbreeding.   
      
   Researchers from the University of Queensland observed 450,000 genomes   
   from people of European descent born between 1938 and 1967. Out of the   
   group, 125 people met the inbreeding criteria, meaning the parents were   
   either first-degree relatives (siblings) or second-degree relatives   
   (aunts, uncles, etc.). In this group, researchers found common health   
   issues such as decreased cognitive abilities and muscular function,   
   reduced height and lung function, and a greater risk of contracting   
   diseases in general.   
      
   While inbreeding is incredibly taboo in the United States, it is somewhat   
   legal in some states. While not widely practiced, first-cousin marriage is   
   legal in 19 states, and some first-cousin marriages are legal in six   
   states. Sexual relations and cohabitation are only prohibited in nine   
   states. Approximately 0.2% of all marriages in the United States are   
   between second cousins or closer. That means that there are about 250,000   
   Americans that are in these relationships.
