Kijktip, intro van gezien, behoorlijk schokkend:
Mo. 23.8.2010 Channel 4 - 21.00 tot 22.00 NL tijd.
Dispatches: When Cousins Marry
50 min. Dispatches reveals the tragic health problems suffered by children born within first cousin marriages in Britain, and questions why there is no publicity campaign warning those at risk.
(herhaling Fr. 27.8.2010 - 5.35 tot 6.25)
First cousin marriages, though legal in Britain, are a taboo - commonly seen as incest
Dispatches reveals the tragic consequences of these relationships
First cousin marriages cause hundreds of children to be born with terrible disabilities in Britain every year; one third of whom are so ill that they die before they are five years old.
The practice is most common in Britain's Pakistani community, in which more than 50% of people marry their first cousin, and in Bradford 75% of ethnic Pakistanis follow the tradition. It is also common in some Middle Eastern and East African communities here, and in the UK's Bangladeshi community, nearly a quarter of people marry their first cousins.
But the practice isn't uncommon in the white British community either: this documentary features a couple, first-cousins-once-removed, whose daughter died of a genetic disease.
The medical risks include infant mortality, birth defects, learning difficulties, blindness, hearing impairment and metabolic disorders. As adults, the offspring of these relationships also risk sporadic abortions or infertility.
Reporter Tazeen Ahmad meets affected families, including one with three children with serious degenerative genetic diseases. Tazeen's own grandparents were first cousins: five of their children died before the age of ten, and three of her uncles were deaf.
Dispatches questions why no major national publicity campaign warns of these health risks. At-risk couples in some areas are offered genetic counselling, with some being offered selection of embryos or terminations, but as only 40% of recessive disorders can be medically tested for, this is of limited use.
Even talking about the practice is controversial. And, although many British studies have established the risks, people still deny the dangers and extol the benefits of marrying within the family. But others within the community say the risks should be publicised |

Een prachtige manier, om de Dhymmie`s te belasten.
Maar; je moet het wel willen zien.
Ook in deze zou repatriatie beleid uitkomst kunnen bieden, maar die Engelsen zijn niet meer als die gasten, die ons bevrijd hadden.
Zelfs bij HVV hoor je weinig geluiden, over de vergaande islamisering aldaar, terwijl pappy een sootemet uit eerste hand hoorde, dat het daar veel erger is.
'Ware' gelovige gendarmerie in bepaalde buurten, daar waar je, je als rechtgeaarde Brit, je maar beter niet kan vertonen.
Grappig, maar deze zaken houdt Laroes overigens(dat moet ik hem dan nageven)vakkundig, onder; de stolp, sootemet; ver weg van de camera`s. |
