you all have a funny way of looking at this. Agreeing to incent while stating that no reproduction will fallow. Its like agreeing to burn down random buildings as long as you think they are empty, sooner or later someone will get hurt. I never said conception would not happen, but rather that as long as it doesn't happen then incest is OK in my books. I'm not denying that reproduction does in fact occur between couples engaged in incest, just that I do not agree with it. |

Skwiggs, learn how to read. It said " you think" their are empty, not that they are empty for a fact. The same way you may not want a child and still end up with it.  i'd like to point out that the issue of "you think they are empty" , in the questions context, was nullified by the stipulation at the top. the questions clearly said And for the sake of the argument, we will assume the following two things:
1.Everyone participating is of age.
2.No sexual reproduction is occurring. So... you all have a funny way of looking at this. I'm sorry you didn't happen to read the question. |

I'm curious, what is the likelihood that a child conceived during incest will have a disability? Is it 100% or is it different? Just curious.

Have you ever done it w/ your sister, or aunt, or MOM?!? I've never been to Arkansas And stereotyping is better than sex that harms no one? |

Eh, idk. Incest only goes so far, to the point where offspring from the second and third cousins would be pretty much unaffected by the effects of incest. I think that incest is weird, but I"m pretty much with Alex on this one.

Just curious. genetic deformities that occure through incestual reproduction are caused by the weakening of the genetic structure.. you see siblings have extreamly similar genes so when they reproduce they give the same genes as the other and make a weaker genome. usualy one or two generations of this can occure with minimal problems but after that the likely hood of problems becomes much more obvious and starts to make some of the strangest disabilities... the monarchies that kept the blood withen the family came accross this problem many times and would usualy hide the strange member of the family with the hiddious growths and such... so no not 100% but it still forms issues and can make the offspring have geneticly weak childeren even if they are with someone out of there blood line.. technicaly for the most geneticaly healthy parents you should look accors the world somewhere far off where your blood lines are as little existant as possible but that usualy doesnt happen... genetics can be fun sometimes... |

The thread asked for my opinion, and I gave it. While also stereotyping the people of Arkansas. |

The thread asked for my opinion, and I gave it. And it was presented in practically the same way I see people reacting to gay people. "EWWW GROSS. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED IT? [insert stereotype here]" Honestly, if it's not affecting you, why do you care? It doesn't affect me, so I really don't give a rat's rear-end as to what two people are doing consensually. |

If we take out the risk of reproduction out of this debate that whatever everyone said has no practical use in real life.

I did and this is exactly why I wrote that, what's the point of debating something that has no practical use. |

krzych32We're not debating the consequences, we're debating the concept. Whether or not we'd accept the behavior as just that: a behavior. Not every subject can be translated to practical usage, such as philosophy. Does that mean it's pointless? No, it just means the discussion is metaphysical or concept-based. Food for thought. @opRIGHTO. I'm pretty sure the reason that incest is so disgusting to most people is that family members are friend-zoned. I grew up with my brother and it is impossible for me to view him as a potential romantic partner. I don't feel the need to barf over it, I'm just not attracted to him. However, if you consider the rare case of not knowing your siblings or meeting your cousins at a later age, then it's a whole new scenario. You could feel attraction to him/her, though society's indoctrinated anti-incest laws will play a role and nip that attraction in the bud. I'm not encouraging incest, I'm just saying that the actual concept of being romantically attracted to a family member isn't as abnormal as it seems. Like many other people here, if both people are of age and consent, I have no problem with it.
