I'm having trouble connecting the dots between marriages of brother and sister and barbarians storming the gates. Sounds like Henny Penny to me. How much difference can it make if our sibling couple is married or shacking up? Now if you think you can put the shacking-up genie back in the bottle, you might be able to ratchet back the barbarian factor some, but I don't see significant societal disadvantage to permitting them to share health care benefits, particularly if they already have children. Remember that there's a difference between legality and righteousness. I'm no libertine. The world is already too libertine for my taste. But do we need to make it officially illegal to show a boob on TV? Obviously we have other ways of sanctioning people for barbaric behavior. Ask Janet Jackson.
