Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Honestly what two consenting adults do with their bodies is none of my business. The only moral argument I can see against incest is procreation, I'm not sure of the chances of babies inheriting a mental or physical disability but I could get on board with no procreation with close blood relations.

Quite right. Consenting adults, with an emphasis on consenting should be free to follow their own desires, provided one of them is sterile.
@Petter you control freak - "provided one of them is sterile"!
@Petter I'm surprised that you don't also stipulate "& so ugly that unless wearing a burka subject to instant stoning in the street"!
Once you get past the ick factor, incest laws don't make a lot of sense. Genetic diseases like Huntington's have a much higher risk and nobody is forbidding them from having sex. I think myob when it comes consenting adults should be the default.

Interestingly, children who grow up together are far less likely to develop a sexual interest in each other than those who were separated in infancy and later re-united. Is it nature's way of ensuring genetic variety?

How do you interpret the news?
I think it's unhealthy to mix the bloodline. Have actually visited a total incestual village in southern Mexico where is harms the immune system. the adverage of the villagers was age 35.
Sometimes about laws that messes things up , even more, Being against things some how joins the problem. I always prefer better education for first steps.

In the village where I live in Spain, the population declined heavily during the early 20th century, and it became common for cousins to marry. Nowadays, many descendants of one of those families have six fingers on each hand.
Funny, in this Mexican village, everyone had a similar long nose. Like the goons in Popeye cartoons.
@Petter, @Castlepaloma Did the local priest or doctor also have the characteristic?
This tribe were not friendly , they kind of keeps to themselves, like the artistcrates.
@Castlepaloma So you never got to see if the priest had a long nose?
