That's irrelevant, the question was whether you thought it should be illegal. You've stated it should be because of complications with procreation, and when I pointed out that marriage isn't about procreation, you simply responded that it's currently illegal in all states. My only conclusion is that you believe that incest should be illegal because it's already illegal. That's not really a rational argument that I'd expect from you Min, and I'm disappointed that don't seem to have a response to my challenge (without resorting to tradition and current laws, why should siblings be prohibited from marrying?).

I don't really care. In the past when they brought it up my standard response was "so what?" anyway. I'd rather let them be right than compromise the integrity of my arguments. If we use an argument for gay marriage but then use it against incestuous marriage, we are just as bad as the anti-gay bigots.
Oh, and as others have pointed out, bestiality does not involve consenting parties, so it's an entirely different issue (comparable with child marriages).
