Oh. Like I said, I have no problem with it if they are all consenting. Doesn't harm me in the slightest and it is what all parties want equally so alls ok in my book. I was just trying to explain the negative stigma attached to it.

Maybe, but it could also create new problems. Be interesting to see how secularists would tackle polygamy.

I absolutely agree. I personally have no problem with the appropriate level of government doing everything it can to prevent inbreeding. I do wish we were developed enough as a species to simply teach children not to breed with their close relatives, but history says otherwise.
The whole matter revolves around "doing the least harm, hopefully none."
Genetic sexual attraction You're 40, happily married - and then you meet your long-lost brother and fall passionately in love. This isn't fiction; in the age of the sperm donor, it's a growing reality: 50% of reunions between siblings, or parents and offspring, separated at birth result in obsessive emotions. Last month, a former police officer was convicted of incest with his half-sister - but should we criminalise a bond hardwired into our psychology?

What does genetics have to do with them getting married or sleeping together? Besides the chance of them having children? If we take that part out of the equation you should have no qualms right?>

What does that have to do with gay marriage?
Anyone can adopt or get IVF ---- straight, gay, trans, etc.
Genetics is the main reason against incestual coupling. Which does not apply to other couplings.
Genetics = Apples
