Alternatively, are you saying that couples who are genetically predisposed to having unhealthy children shouldn't be allowed to have children? Where do you draw the line? Maybe people with cancer or heart disease running rampant in their family shouldn't be allowed to marry?

Yes but they would have the ability to reproduce, unlike gays, so what is to stop them? And the likelihood is VERY high that the children will be deformed in some way, mentally or physically. There is no guarantee heart disease or cancer will be passed on, it is a lottery, whether it runs in a family or not. There is pretty much a guarantee an incestual couple will have children with deformities. They would be doing so knowing it will happen, someone with a history of heart disease in their family can not be said to have knowingly brought a sick child in to the world. That's the difference I see there.
