No, no and no - for the genetic damage likely to be caused to any offspring (maybe if there was no chance of progeny?). There's also doubt as to the understanding of a sexual relationship where there's already such proximity. Well, if they want to... er... I'd question both consent and responsible adulthood, whatever the example of Tsarina Katherine. So long as both parties can reply through the ceremony and sign the requisite legal documents, maybe it's fair. And yes, if consensual. Overall, if marriage grants special status in law, and restrictions are put on marriage, then they should be ultimately limited to volition, capability and understanding of both (all) parties. I'm not personally in favour of the extreme cases, but I don't claim to be perfect or all-knowing... nice questions :)

No. The why is in their genes. >>>>>>>>>>> Do you support legislation which would allow mothers to marry sons? If not, why? Do you support legislation which would allow fathers to marry daughters? If not, why? Do you support legislation which would allow brothers and sisters to marry? If not, why? Do you support legislation which would allow people to marry dogs, cats, or any other animal? If not, why? Do you support legislation which would allow a person to marry as many people as they choose? If not, why?
