Nice to see it's okay to be narrowminded on SOME issues.

Why should incest be legal? It is absolutely sickening.

Because government shouldn't enforce moral and subjective standards.

So, since there is a victim. The victim didn't consent to be killed.

Ok I get what you are getting at.
If you think of it that way, then I am inclined to agree with you. But my mind is to narrow minded, and I was raised to believe it was immoral to have sex with family members. So I will go with how I was raised on this one.

I'm not saying than this is not immoral and I don't have a opinion on incest. But, an example, I think than adultery is immoral, but I don't want to outlaw it!

I understand. But I think inset would be worse. Since adultery is more common and sort of normal. You are comparing one that is common to one that is sort of rare.

Brother-Sister incest has really only become "rare" quite recently.

Making it illegal is both useless, and utterly stupid. Consensual incest is not something the state should concern themselves with.

That justification for a ban may apply to other unions, but those do not have the weight of traditional instincts already against them.

Yeah, plus the whole skeeviness of the power dynamics at play almost inherently within any preexisting family unit...

Very difficult to rationally justify why incestuous relationships should be illegal.

Why are you assuming that it is being justified rationally? Or that they should be?

I don't. I was pointing out a difficulty for exaggerated rationalism, not one that I myself am struggling with.
