I suppose it's the same way I feel when I see or hear a person cursing around children or spitting allot. Or when I hear of a person marrying a sibling.

Okay, it's personally distasteful to you. Many things are personally distasteful to me as well: gum chewing, for example. I don't recommend that it be outlawed, nor do I even consider it debauched behavior. Um, how many people have you heard of who've married siblings?

Let me ask you this. Do you think we should change the laws and allow mothers and sons to marry eachother? How about brothers and sisters?

Personally I could care less. Though I think such a proposal would necessitate a serious investigation of the statistical probablity of increased hereditary medical problems. Voluntary sterilization could be required, but of course that opens a whole new can of worms.

And do you feel it is only a matter of time before we accept these kinds of relationships the same way we accept homosexual relationships today?

Probably not. As I've said, in our society, as in most, the incest taboo is extremely strong.
