Too Close for Comfort

A par of twins separated at birth met and married, they have now had their marriage dissolved by the British Government. This case has been an occasion for some in the UK to push for the names of sperm donors to appear on birth certificates.

To me though it brings up a bigger issue about the incest that suspect goes on in society in general. Most children have half siblings, usually several and many don't know who their half siblings are, either because they are product of a one night stand or because their father is one of numerous boyfriends a father has. It is not usual for fathers not to be listed on birth certificate or to be listed wrong. There is huge potential for incest to be going on and unlike in this case we may never know about it.
