Depends.
Parents are still going to potentially exercise a great deal of power over children even when they hit adulthood.
So now that Liberals have had their way with Gay marriage they want Incest to be allowed. Wonder what's next? beastiality?
Infracted: Please don't equate gay marriage and/or incest with bestiality; the former involve humans while the latter involves animals.

Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
It's not because I consider it to be frown on by society it just why would you think it's a good idea to bump and grind with the same person that came out of your moms vagina?! more importantly do you think your sibling might be someone you want to bang?
I wouldn't personally choose to do so, but if people want to, go for it.
Lets just hope they don't have kids...
Ok I'm gonna back out of this room and find somewhere safe....
But I think that, by not allowing inbreeding, and forcing people to look outside their own genetic families to procreate, the human gene pool is overall, slowly, but surely, getting more resistant to diseases.
Let's say you have the Smith family of 10 carry a recessive gene for dementia (D/d) and 10 outside people that do not have that gene (D/D). If you forbid inbreeding, then that particular recessive gene has no chance of manifesting itself in the next generation -- the 10 outside people, who carry a dominant gene for non-dementia, will "override" the recessive gene. In subsequent generations, there is no chance that you can have a d/d combination; you'll always have a D/D, or D/d.
Now let's say that of that family of 10, 6 of them decide to inbreed and have 3 children. Now you have a generation that has a chance of having a d/d.

It should be up for two consenting adults where they stick their things or not. The goverment has absolutely no rights in this to control what people do as long as it's not harming anyone.

Partly true... except, for the human race to survive as a whole, it is better for our DNA to be diverse. So calling it a "scientific truth" is a bit rich. Also, it is not always in families with a history of genetic illness. Firstly, mutations occur, and in one family may be more common at a specific allele. Secondly, a recessive disease could have very little family history. If you want to know what happens when you inbreed, just go look at royal families.
I have no problem with 2 related people having sex. Having children is somewhat questionable (meaning probably a bad thing, but I haven't put enough thought into it to give it a good answer), but who knows what solutions science will come up with in years to come.

It would require generations of sibling incest to have any actual real damage and even then it's rather small % to happen. Fearmongering over it is just another outcome from moralist groups who think they have the right to dictate how people live or what should be right.
A chance of birth defects to a child whoms parent is smoking is higher than the gene-thing

If you allowed a couple to marry but not have children there wouldn't be a problem with gay incest either. In a few years it might be possible for 2 men to have child. Also I don't think equality is so much about being "equal in every way" and more so about balance. True equality is somewhat difficult considering people aren't all identical
Idk I think thats weird. I have 3 sisters and can't even imagine thinking that way towards them. Not only that but inbreeding is bad for possible children. I think it should not be allowed. Unless its like 3 cousins or something crazy like that.
