Eliminate the aspect of child defects for a second.
Imagine a mother having sexual relationships with a daughter. Or a father with a son. Or a brother with a brother. Or a sister with a sister.
None of these scenarios have any risks whatsoever with regards to a child being born 'inbred' in some way. What then is the moral objection to it?
I honestly think there is probably a psychological/physiological reason for why many of us find incestual relationships so repulsive, or weird. A lot of it may be down to how human society itself works.
But you look at every species on the planet, to my knowledge pretty much every animal I know of does not engage in incestual acts. There must be a physical reason for this.
On a purely basic level though, I find it disgusting. When really rationalising it I can't come up with many sound reasons as for why, but it still is.
For me a parent with a child is wrong even if the child is of the age of consent. Same goes for any person who had a position of authority when raising the child. I can't shake the feeling that if you raise a child you shouldn't raise them to ever want to have sex with you. It seems like an abuse of authority or something. But those are just feelings I have on the inside.
