The National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom has been taken under fire because of a possible priority to cultural sensitivity over significant health problems after it had published a report last week that a major problem of the public debate questioning is to be banned in the first wall?
The debate on the issue is earlier this year when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was increasing, said that he would not forbid practice, despite known risks for future generations, because children born of first cousins run an increased risk of diseases such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis.
Starmer, together with members of his Labor Government, has argued that education should be given priority instead of exceeding government mandates.

According to the media established in the UK, the article caused some commotion after it suggested that there were certain “benefits” for marriages of the first company, including “stronger extensive family support systems and economic benefits”, the Telegraph reported.
The NHS report also noticed that marriages between the family “had long been the subject of scientific discussion” because of the increased risk of hereditary diseases, and that marriages in the first company have been legally in the UK since the years 1500, when King Henry VIII married Catherine Howard, his cousin of his ex-wife.
First cousin marriages are also not federally prohibited in the US, where practice is still allowed in 20 states.

The article also noted that there are risks of genetic disorders related to other external factors such as alcohol consumption during pregnancy and smoking. The age of the parents can also influence certain disorders.
The report pointed out that “none of [these factors] are forbidden in the UK “
“Genetic counseling, awareness initiatives and public health campaigns are all important tools to help families make informed decisions without stigmatizing certain communities and cultural traditions,” the article added, De Telegraaf said.
The article, posted for the first time last week, withdrew a reprimand of conservative tories such as MP Richard Holden, who accused the Labor Government, led by starmer, from “taking the knee to harmful and suppressing cultural practices.”
“The conservatives also want to put an end to the cousin’s marriage as a back door of immigration, but labor is deaf to these sensible demands,” he told Daily Mail.
Likewise, the conservative parliament member Claire Coutinho went to X on Monday to say: “The NHS sets conditions on IVF at the age, BMI and history of conception. The NHS tells you (much) not to smoke or drink during pregnancy. But the NHS will not say a word to Cousin, marriage.”
The Daily mail The report also noted that the NHS article said that in marriages in the first fake the increased risk of being born with a genetic disorder was ‘small’.
“In the general population, the chance of a child is to be born with a genetic disorder about two to three percent; this increases to four to six percent in children of first cousins. That is why most children of first cousins are healthy,” the article said according to the Daily Mail.

Proponents of the Prohibition in the UK are usually conservative tories, while labor officers have argued that the prohibition focuses on certain cultures, such as British Pakistani, where marriages in-Family occur more often.
Holden could also not be reached immediately for this report.
