That's a very specific number to tout without a source to either support it or demonstrate that every one of them would be improved.

That's because he's dropped the mask that he has any factual basis for what he's talking about and is openly making up bollocks. He will now claim that he was being funny, and followed by desperately hoping that nobody follows up on the actual number.
Because we already established in the Islam thread that it's not about cousin marriage or protecting children. It's about legislation targeted at certain minority groups and trying to dilute their culture into oblivion through forced "integration".
I know you know this, but I thought it was worth saying out loud.

Please expand on:
A) Why you posted this in response to a suggestion that will....save lives.
B) Whether this would be a positive or negative for patients and the NHS in the short and long term.
Please read this:
And answer:
A) Why you're fighting so hard for cousin ****ing, creating generations upon generations of disabled children and repressed women that will....hurt lives.
B) A rough estimate of the amount of severely disabled individuals you have cared for, and in what capacity.
C) If you think you know what's better for the British Pakistani community than Nazir Afzal (son of Pakistani immigrants) and Matthew Syed (half Pakistani).
Many thanks lads, long may the loony left continue to provide the solutions our world so desperately needs. This is, most definitely, the way to keep Farage out of No. 10.

Mainly because the ongoing introduction of private service and underfunding in the service has caused damage, and the utter failure of insurance based system in the US.
Ohh look an appeal to authority that doesn't actually support the number you presented.
Before we go anywhere, support your original claim.
No one has commented on the morals of banning it, rather on your inability to form a coherent position and actually support the data you presented!
Oh, and insulting members for your own failings stops now.

Stop pretending you're trying to save the children. We can all see it for the lie that it is.
You know who actually has a problem with consanguinuity and has put in place a reasonable solution to the problem? Iceland. The population is ~400,000, there's some degree of relation between almost everyone. Do they ban first cousin marriage? No, they have solutions that provide information to couples that allow them to see their ancestry and make an informed choice. You know, like a normal, sensible first world country. The medical system can bear the minor potential increase in burden from first cousins the same way it can bear the burden from older parents, the only problem is making sure that potential parents are aware of what they're signing up for when they have a child with their chosen partner.
Even for you, banning first cousins from having children would suffice if you wanted to be an absolutist about the genetic dangers, although you'd probably have to add a bunch of other groups of people to that ban as well. You could allow them to marry but not have children if they wished, as many couples choose to do. That's why so many first world countries have a birth rate crisis, because couples are not having children.
But that's not the point. The fact that you choose marriage as the thing to ban and not the actual act of having children gives away the fact that it's not about children and never was. Plenty of people get married and never have children, and plenty more have children despite not being married. So why focus on marriage?
Because it's about control of minorities. Get your story straight, or at least come up with an excuse that is more plausible than "but what about the children". No children are harmed when two cousins marry. They don't hand out genetic disorders at the wedding ceremony.

Ain't no faith like bad faith, eh?
What conversations are you so used to taking part in that being questioned even slightly about your position and sources causes imbecilic reactions like this? It's almost like you're around people who daren't disagree with you, so you can't even conceive of having to defend your thoughts and just... lash out. I wonder if that's why the people around you daren't disagree.
Stop. Making. Crap. Up. And. Answer. The. Questions.
