I don't see what the problem is as long as they use contraception. I personally think it's gross and would never partake in incestuous activities; but at the same time, it doesn't harm anyone and what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my business. If it happened in my own circle of friends or family, I'd be grossed out, but I'd get over it.

Atheist Professor rationalizes incest

Oh man, there was a great sci fi pic with Liam Neeson in the starring role (iirc) about incest - but removed from familial ties by invoking population density and genetics. Brilliant, because that removed the "ick" factor...and you really felt like it was a love story (which it was) somebody help me remember the name
(ah sci-fi, why you haunt me so)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
 (June 2, 2013 at 7:47 am)The Germans are coming Wrote:The age of consent in the UK is 16, so the 14-15 year olds would still be covered. If a 16/17 year old wants to have sex with someone much older, they are able unless that person is in a position of trust (i.e. a teacher, but this would likely apply to parents / family members too).(June 2, 2013 at 7:44 am)Tiberius Wrote: Bullshit. A child cannot consent according to the law anyway, so there would be no such problems. A parent who has sex with a child under the age of consent would still be arrested for child abuse, even if incestuous relationships were allowed. Yes, even when we grow up we're still our mother's child, but since we are grown up, we are held to be responsible in the eyes of the law. I don't see any reason to deny incestuous relationships as long as they follow current laws regarding consent. 
I honestly don't care if they use protection. They can do whatever they want, be it between two consenting adults.

You can rationalize pretty much anything though, that's why rationale is not a good source of moral conduct.

You're right, you're right, it was. Wonder how the two got mixed up in my mind? Thank you Sal.

If they're not hurting anybody, it's not my business. People think incest and automatically think rape or molestation. Two different things entirely. They can be combined, but that is not always the case. I wouldn't do it, it's not my cup of tea, but then again some of my sexual practices aren't other people's cup of tea. So what? Enjoy, I say.
And to creationists out there who disagree... we're all brothers and sisters. How do you like that?
