If, and even if a medicine came up for the sake of allowing marriages between cousins, which can only be in a long future, and by then the Emirati's would be long extinct anyways or reduced to tomatoes, but then it would become an ethical problem for those who make those medicines (arabs do not produce medicines), because a medicine would be designed to permit a wrongful behavior, so pharmaceutical companies would probably not produce them.
If Nature does not allow it, there is a reason. Going against nature with pills is a dangerous game.
It is wrong to marry his cousin, period, no medicine should correct that, then what, why not push to the sisters, sons and daughters, grandmothers and fathers. If it is just a pill problem.

Agreed. Indeed an inevitable event!

Big pharama is interested in cutting a profit. EMEA (European Medical Authority) and the US FDA are both lacking enough jurisdiction to prevent the sale of faulty medication. Take for example the VIOX fiasco, horrible event in the history of clinical research. Theoretically if the oceans of wealth were properly channeled into research, those typed of medications would become a quick reality. The objective of biotech and pharma is profit and what prevents essential medicine from getting into the market is actually market forces and unfortunately not ethics.

Although this is a thought that has its roots in MORALITY. MORALITY itself is curious concept, since religion is no longer the source , free thinking mandates an arduous journey in defining MORALITY. So in this regard this argument would be invalid.

Agree they look for profit, but look at the problems that were raised with human cloning.
A debate would be inevitable, and it is a dirty debate.
