RESUMEN
Se da cuenta de las discusiones que se dieron principalmente en la medicina legal mexicana acerca de la prudencia de las regulaciones sobre el matrimonio consanguíneo que fueron decretadas en los códigos civiles para el Distrito Federal de 1871 y 1884. Se muestra que el ánimo de las mismas llevó a que sus autores pugnaran por la necesidad de la vigilancia médica de las uniones entre parientes en virtud de un ánimo profiláctico sostenido en una visión nihilista de la herencia patológica. Se concluye en proponer una lectura filosófica que abandona los antiguos campos de lo 'externo' y lo 'interno'.
ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the discussions in the field of legal medicine in Mexico about the prudence of regulations concerning intermarriage that were decreed in the civil codes for the Federal District of 1871 and 1884. It shows that the heated debate forced the authors of the regulations to struggle for the need for medical vigilance of marriages between relatives, as a preventive measure sustained in a nihilistic vision of the pathological inheritance. The paper concludes by proposing a philosophical analysis that abandons the old fields of the "external" and the "internal".
