Germany’s national ethics council
has called for an end to the
criminalisation of incest between
siblings after examining the case of
a man who had four children with
his sister.
Patrick Stuebing, who was adopted
as an infant and met his sister in his
20s, has launched several appeals
since being imprisoned for incest in
2008 and his lengthy legal battle
has prompted widespread public
debate.
Sexual relations between siblings or
between parents and their children
are forbidden under section 173 of
the German criminal code and
offenders can face years in prison.
But on Wednesday, the German
Ethics Council recommended the
section be repealed, arguing that
the risk of disability in children is
not enough to warrant the law and
de-criminalising incest would not
remove the huge social taboo
around it.
The chairman of the council,
Christiane Woopen, was among the
14 members voting in favour of
repealing section 173, while nine
people voted for the ban to continue
and two abstained.
A statement released on Wednesday
said: “Incest between siblings
appears to be very rare in Western
societies according to the available
data but those affected describe how
difficult their situation is in light of
the threat of punishment.
“They feel their fundamental
freedoms have been violated and are
forced into secrecy or to deny their
love.
“The Ethics Council has been told of
cases where half-siblings did not
grow up together and have only met
in their adult lives.”
Such was the case with Mr Stuebing,
who was adopted at a young age and
traced his birth family in his early
20s.
He and his sister Susan Karolewski,
who were not brought up together,
met for the first time when they
were aged 24 and 16 respectively.
He was convicted of incest in 2008
and spent three years in prison,
failing an appeal to the Federal
Constitutional Court in 2008 and to
the European Court of Human Rights
over his rights to a family life in
2012.
Ms Karolewski was allowed to keep
custody of their youngest child but
the other three were taken into care.
Two are disabled, although it is not
known whether incest is the cause.
In a statement outlining its
recommendations, the Ethics Council
said the law against incest “put
couples in a tragic situation”.
“The majority of the German Ethics
Council is of the opinion that it is
not appropriate for a criminal law to
preserve a social taboo,” it added.
“In the case of consensual incest
among adult siblings, neither the
fear of negative consequences for
the family , nor the possibility of the
birth of children from such
incestuous relationships can justify
a criminal prohibition.
“The fundamental right of adult
siblings to sexual self-determination
has more weight in such cases than
the abstract protection of the family.
Members objecting to
decriminalising incest argued that it
would weaken “ethically significant”
family values that contribute towards
personal development.
A spokeswoman for Angela Merkel's
CDU party, Elisabeth Winkelmeier-
Becker, responded to the Ethics
Council's vote saying that the
abolition of the law against incest
would give out the wrong signal.
“Abolishing criminal punishment
against incestuous actions within a
family would go completely against
protecting the undisturbed
development of children,” she told
Deutsche Welle.
The Ethics Council’s recommendation
only covered incest between siblings
and members did not recommend
decriminalising sex between parents
and children.

I believe so much in 'to each his own'. I have never been a push over, so I dont wait for anyone to liberate me, I have being liberating myself right from pry sch, where I learnt that life answers to you for what you demand of it, hence my siggy. But this opening post gives me shivers.
