If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
Tal, do like I did and just stop trying. This is going nowhere...

Wow, the threads you come across when looking down search results....

I'm surprised that the vast majority of people voted 'No'. I thought most people here were open-minded.
In the context of the Internet, this is an extremely "old" thread.
You can't really discuss this topic as a real life possibility-- there's too much of a "yick!" factor. But it does appear in literature. It exists as a theme in mythology (the ancient gods and goddesses.) By the way, whom did Adam and Eve's children marry? Back in '09 some Litnutter mentioned "Middlesex," an excellent novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, but a century earlier Thomas Mann had a short story (maybe a novella) about a brother and sister. The title was their names, but I can't think of it! I believe the boy and girl shared their names with characters in the Ring cycle. Anybody know what the title
is?

I just find it remarkably bigoted that most people seem to think that just because they personally find it disgusting (as I do too, the notion of having sex with one of my siblings is horrific to be quite frank) that means other people should not be allowed to do it. It's not as though it hurts anyone else (with the possible exception of their children, but we haven't made lots of other things that hurt children illegal).
Well this is a blast from the past.... Good Times, Good Times...

Reproduction has to be avoided; or the fetus screened for genetic problems and aborted if they have them. The thing itself is alright; if consensual - why shouldn't it be? People had the same reaction about miscegenation once.
I had two male cousins who dated each other. Didn't bother me and there's no risk of a 'special needs' child.
For the people who are offended that more people on here aren't "open-minded" enough, what does open-mindedness really mean to you? Just blindly condoning everything or considering the arguments from both angles and thinking them over carefully before coming to a conclusion? The latter is the real thing. The first one is just stupidity and refusing to think. I am not saying that if you support incest you're stupid, but don't be offended if not everyone supports it for other reasons.
Personally, incest to any degree does not sit well with me. But if two consenting adult siblings want to hit the sack, I guess what they do in privacy is their private business.
i agree. open mindedness is to recognise that other people may differ in opinions.
incest is medically/genetically wrong to start with and that should be enough to deter people from doing it.
two of my mother's cousins married and have two grown up children who are now both on wheelchairs for the rest of their lives.
same blood situation. .
i went to school with this girl who use to sit next to me. she was tall blond and quite nice looking but she was completely disabled. she could not talk walk properly. she was disabled from head to toe. here parents were cousins. again same blood situation. i felt sorry for her.
it was not her fault.
not a very nice thing to do incest. you could imagine the worseness of it even more when tow siblings are it. utter wrongness for the reasons i stated.

open minded about incest?
open mindedness is to accept that other people would have a different opinion from you.
that is what it means. incest is not right to the majority of people and that is an opinion that must be accepted. that is open mindedness.
