Defects in incest babies?

I'm doing a research paper and I need to know :--->What are the chances of birth defects in a baby if the parents are Half- Siblings (Same Father But Different Mother )? Is there a website with such information? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE! (This research paper determins if I pass or fail my class)

Update:

Also is incest still a punishable crime if it's consensual and both individuals are adults?

Update 2:

Can it even be labeled as an incest case if they are only halfway related (share the same father but not the same mother)?

    I think you should go to the library to research this, or use a search engine if you want to do it on-line. If it determines whether you pass or fail the class, you have to be willing to put the effort in to do your own research. Good luck.

    Your answer requires more than a percentage..DNA determines whether or not a recessive birth defect will pass on regardless of having sibling parents.

    The reason why parents who are siblings will have more of likelihood of birth defects is because they will be more likely to both have a recessive gene that can be passed. This is with the assumption that the parents have some sort of recessiveness. Unfortunately the percentage will be a case by case basis and will make your research a little harder.

    You will need to research genetic inheritance in order to even undrestand the reason why it is not a good idea to marry your brother / sister.

    An unrelated couple has about a 3 percent to 4 percent risk of having a child with [birth defects]. But for close cousins who are married, that risk jumps only 1.7 percent to 2.8 percent, the study said."

    In other words, the risk of birth defect-related problems increases from 3-4% for unrelated couples to 4.7-6.8% for children of first cousins. Perhaps we can accept that as a tolerable increase in risk.

    Unfortunately the risk of birth defects rises VERY high with closely related parents - famous examples include the Hapsburgs - a european royal family (which might be one of the reasons Germany is still strongly opposed to incest) who intermarried heavily over several centuries. They had a genetic predisposition towards prominent chins - which ended up with children who were unable to chew their food because their lower jaws protruded so far out from where they should have been.
