As a rule of thumb I go by "Do whatever the fuck you want until it influences someone else." Therefore, I say incest is okay but the second they try to reproduce it should be stopped. That being said its not possible to ban reproduction except in extreme circumstances so until our society changes its gotta be all or nothing and I choose nothing to protect the children! (OMG WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!)
Long story short: If reproduction could be banned, go for it. If not, its gotta be illegal.

Im in favour of what two or more consenting adults do in private is their business is ok so ive opted for it being leagle
While I don't think it should be illegal between consenting adults I think it should remain a touchy subject for a very simple psychological reason.
That reason is that even with consenting adults how can we know that consent was mutual? What I mean is how can we be sure one party was not pressed into it and simply went along with it because they love their family member and want to make them happy.
This is a common occurrence, with rape and incest an older family member will rape a younger one and the younger member will keep quiet because although they don't want to have sex they would rather be forced into it than put their family member in jail or in some countries get them killed.
Think about how easy it was for your parents to get you to do things when you were young as you trusted them implicitly. Incest is a basic violation of this trust. While this is lessened when someone is older it is still a present factor thus incest should be thought of not through the lens of handicapped children (although this is a risk) but with the recognition that parental and indeed sibling trust is an easy thing to abuse.

but just because you think it should leagle doesnt mean you do it or want to, i dont want to take it up the ass but that doesnt mean i think it should be ileagle
This is one of those things that probably should be legal but every one gets a bit iffy about, like marijuana having the stigma 'drug' attached to it. I hear theres quite a lot of psychological crap involved (breach of trust, confused familial feeling etc.) but as usual with things like this, any argument you use against it can also be used against a million other socially acceptable things.

How can you not capitalise the start of your own sentence, but then capitalise 'sexual' for no reason?Trezu said:
OT: Incest is not the problem, like you said, its the issue with them then having children. But honestly, whether or not its worse than a woman having kids over a certain age or whatever else, I don't know. Can't say I've given it much thought or looked into it too much.
Also why incest is such a touchy subject is most people are attracted to their family members on a basic level as these are the people we often are very comfortable with. While you might instantly think eww that's wrong this is a conditioned response which you have been taught to have, however most people at some point have thought about their siblings or parents in this manner.DalekJaas said:
There's no reason it can't change. I just said genetics is a craps shoot, and shouldn't factor into whether or not incest is allowed.Imperator_DK said:
But it shouldn't be an all-or-nothing decision. It should be handled on a case-by-case basis, and attitudes towards incest should change naturally like they did with homosexuality and the like.
In reality, morals and taboos are inherently relative. Name anything Western culture currently finds abhorrent (rape, incest, pedophilia, mass murder, public torture, bloodsport, animal abuse, slavery, etc.) and I could name several points in history when it was the norm (i.e. not considered immoral). Conversely, there are tons of stuff we consider perfectly fine (premarital sex, eating sacred animals, ignoring beggars, burying the dead, sitting for long periods of time, drinking cold water, being around menstruating women, etc.) which would be considered absolutely despicable at other times and places.
The point is, we're no more enlightened than any other culture. There is no rational way to prove whether incest (or anything at all) should, or should not, be morally reprehensible.
I suppose as long as they aren't making babies, it's fine... I wouldn't exactly go tell them to broadcast that they're having recreational sex with their own family, however.
i don't know. i seems disgusting but that is because we were told its disgusting. so maybe but i don't think they should be allowed to have children.
A tad redundant don't you think?Ldude893 said:
On a more serious note inbreeding does not instantly cause birth defects and such, what it does do however is effectively double their chances of occurring with each generation of inbreeding.
This applies to any genetic disorder and some genetic predispositions.
Hey, created an account to post this cause I didn't wanna come clean on my other account (*sadface*) but I've partaken in "wincest" as some people call it. With a 1st cousin of mine back when I was 16. (not as long as it sounds really) And no kids were ever brought in, and we are still great friends. I can tell there's still a 'difference' in us since then, but we don't let that get in the way that we were just teenagers doin what we do. Just so people have to work some. She is (3(4-2)+(4*2))/7 years younger than me.
