So, you mean it is done as a way of cleansing the gene pool of "undesirables" by letting those babies die who happened to have become inbred because their parents choose the wrong partners (like the Romanovs who, like most other kings and queens in Europe during the 18th century and onwards got inbred by the diplomatically arranged marriages)? Sounds unlikely. Do you have any source for this?Originally Posted by Felix Constantus Alexander
