It's wrong to have 10 kids, unless you can somehow support them all financially.

Even then, there are so many kids out there without proper homes. You could adopt two instead of having ten, which would also reduce the risk of the children having disorders due to inbreeding.

What is wrong with having 10 kids? My dad's parents had 10 kids, and my mom's had 8 and adopted one. And I am so thankful for that because now I have a really big awesome family.

I believe it was socially acceptable then. Don't compare current norms to the past unless it's an assignment.

He knew it was wrong, he wrote extensively in his journals that every time one of his children was sick he feared they had been born with an abnormality or illness due to the close blood-relationship he had with his wife.
