'Cause yuk and ew is not an argument. It's a reaction. And we don't run society on those.
You are welcome to your opinion and I am welcome to mine. I guess some of us just posses more common sense than others in that regard. There is a reason why we humans are not attracted to our own kin. Are these two consenting adults? Sure. Doesn't make it right though. She's still of child bearing age. Suppose she accidentally gets pregnant? Then what? You are aware that people don't always use protection, right?
But that's not even the point. This woman gave birth to this kid. He came out of her. In who's actual fucking right mind thinks the two of them having sex with each other is normal by any means? It's not. You may not like my opinion, and you may not agree with it, but I'm okay with that. It's not about me or you. It's about the fact that in this country, incest is against the law and they broke the law. And yes, what they did with each other IS gross.
It's against the law is not an ethical argument, it's a legal one.
I don't think it's normal, nor do I think it should be punishable with prison.
I specifically said as long as they don't have kids. There are actually steps they can ( be made to) take to prevent that from happening.
Common sense? I don't know what that is. Is it irrationality?
