Increasing Risks in America..!? What is the Problem..!?
Genetic testing in the medical field is done for a variety of reasons. Generally, genetic testing is done for a person's family if they develop a serious illness. That way, doctors can determine whether the disease is hereditary or has other causes, such as the environment. Apart from that, genetic testing can also be used to trace one's ancestry. But a recent large-scale genetic testing study in the united states has revealed a strange and shocking set of results. In other words, incest, a relationship between family members, is more common in the united states, according to the study. In other words, this study revealed that many children born in the united states were born to relatives of their family members. In 1975, in a research book published in the united states, it was mentioned that only one child out of 10 lakh people is born in this kind of incest relationship. However, according to the current study, it has been reported that 7000 out of 10 lakh people are born through incest.
Recently, a woman named victoria Hill, who discovered a shocking fact through a genetic test, spoke to the media about this. The 39-year-old was discussing her family background with her former lover at a school reunion when she had some doubts. After this, both of them underwent genetic testing. A shock awaited both of them. The girl is her ex-boyfriend's younger sister. It was also revealed that the woman's father was not the biological father. Speaking about this, the woman said, "This shocked me, I am looking at family photos now. If my ex-boyfriend is my sibling, then anyone can be my sibling..."
He grew up with only one brother who is 22 years old. Now it is revealed that he has many siblings. "I was in a relationship with a brother (half-sibling). I studied in the same school with a brother in the same class," he said.

What's the problem?
Hill's case has been referred to as accidental incest. It is increasing due to a lack of proper regulations to control it. Many people donate their sperm to help women conceive, and this happens through babies. Children born as a result of such incest are at high risk of birth defects and genetic disorders.
