I'd like to point out that I have no intention of performing incest and this is purely curiousity things because if I dare to ask this to someone I know they'll have me comitted. anyway. Why is incest bad? I mean, scientifically. Yeah it's disgusting horrible. I don't know much on this topic. The child would have webbed feet? Or what? |

The scientific reason is that there are some recessive genes that are very harmful and/or lethal when combined with other recessive genes. If you mate within the family, you're more likely to have offspring with these recessive genes, and therefore genetic defects. | |||

I thought there wasn't enough genetic difference so that they always became retarded. I think it is that you can only get the genes your parents have and since they are so simaller your brain doesn't have enough dna to go off of. This is at least what I heard. | |||

No, Yiffy Kitten is right. You share 50% of your genes with your siblings/parents, so there's a much higher chance of your bad recessive genes getting paired up. That explains the practical taboo, but not really the cultural one. One can argue that the cultural one rose out of the practical one, but it probably still has an interesting anthropological history. Either way, incest isn't really that bad at face value. Only if you have children. And it brings into play lots of ethical questions when you start asking who can and can't have children, especially in the days of genetic testing... if you know that your offspring will have a 50% chance of some horrible genetic disorder, is it wrong to have children? Hm. |

this question makes me wonder...at what point did it become such a bad thing? you know...i recall as late as 1800s, it was a common thing or in high class families for cousins to love and marry their cousins. so...i dunno? | |||

hmm...having more than 1 wife...well...nothing really bad about that...but socially its frowned upon...i guess it is because of the country and the dominant religion of the country I believe... | |||

Well, polygamy was rampant in the Old Testament. I'm not sure why it fell out of fashion. | |||

Actually, incest implies sexual relations with someone who is too closely related to marry (yes I looked it up). It doesn't not imply anything beyond that. The fact that a pregnancy resulting a relationship that is considered incest are likely result in children with these defects, is not the same. And as you know, pregnancy can be prevented. Was that what you were wondering? |

First of all its completly against the teachings of the Bible. Then theres the whole thing where the child of two siblings will almost always have some sort of birth defect. Theres an Anime I watched once called Angel Sanctuary. It focuses mainly on Incest and a rebellion against God. I thought it was a pretty good anime....untill my mom found out I was watching it |

Well, on the subject of pologamy, I think the reason that is not a common thing is because as humans, we are naturally jealous. So if we fall in love with someone, we want them all to ourselves, usually. It's actually a basic instinct; designed to preserve our own genes and pass them on without being interfered by any other. Like with lions when they kill the young of a former head of a pride if they take over. Personally I can't comment too much on the subject of incest because I don't have a sister. Although I will say that my cousin is a babe. ^-^ What? I'm not ashamed to say that. She IS. I'm sure there's a surprising number of people who do have siblings who actually have fantasies about... Stuff. Just fantasies, of course. Speak up if you're out there. >.> Heh. Doubt they will, but hey... |

Technically, from what I have heard, your second cousin is where incest is okay. Other than that, and the babies will look bad. | |||

no. Cousins don't share enough genes to cause problems, even direct cousins (your mom's brother's child for instance) -- it's not even incest. |

Sure, I fantasized about my sister when I was younger. My sister's a few years older than me (4), and she's a very attractive woman. I grew out of it though when I got older. Those kinds of fantasies are natural, to an extent. Humans have a high tendency to want what they can't (or shouldn't) have. |
