INCEST=worng or not

What leo said /thread

Also I disagree with most taboos, if some forms of incest are considered "simply wrong" without looking into the reason then you get unintelligent stereotypical views. I think theres a taboo on certain monkeys in the Amazon rainforest by the aboriginals that kill them simply because its a taboo species. Taboos are bullshit but the science behind it can be relevent, e.g. defects on incest birth. Of course, one must also take into account defects can happen in pretty much any birth.

We may get insta-wisdom, though...by download. gaspity. That means no age of consent is necessary, either.

You'll have to decide what age even means in a world like that.

Are our children's children going to laugh at how much we argued about these things (incest, abortion, stem cells, murder)?

Only if we don't teach them to look at history in context.

if two gay men are accepted by society, why not a brother and sister relationship

in my opinion brother and sister together is more "normal" than two gay men

so if gays are accepted the incest couple should be

or neither should be accepted

live and let live i say 😄

Reading this is 10 minutes of my life I can't get back.

All love is equal, IMO.

I don't think it would. Just "exist" or "not exist" I suppose. A truly binary state. If "not exist" then "no consent"?

I like this "we" label. 😄 As though you and I have the responsibility to teach them why our grandparents hated blacks and gays?

Will they even understand the purpose of context the same way we do?

For purposes of consent it might not.

Though presumably consent laws would have to reconsider their basis and rebuild. You run into different problems in that direction. I'd say a 5 year old with the mind of a 50 year old can probably consent (I imagine there could be emotional issues that come from having the brain of a five year old) and a person who just has the body of a young child can clearly do so. What about a sentient machine that has been programmed only to consent?

I'd have to work hard at it to get beyond "ignorance and fear" to be honest.

I'm not sure what not having context would suggest. No individuals? No invididual memories? No different locations?

2 family members are stranded on a desert island together, all alone for the rest of their lives

they will end up having a session of hot sex eventually

Given that there are strong cultural pressures against it and apparent physiological mechanisms to suppress it that seems pretty unlikely.

Who says the physical body exists? Who says that the physical body has to be involved? 😄

And, with "instant wisdom", the idea of cognitive development is fairly moot.

I dunno: it's too undefined because it doesn't exist.

But I'd still think they'd laugh or be confused at our stupidity in the same way children get about some stuff in History, currently.

I tried dating my sister once.

Dinner, the movies, family get-togethers...

But in the end, she said she just wanted to be friends.

The thread title really oughta be "INCEST=fun or not?"

Hahaha, my new favorite word, Worng.

Some guy at work told me that his ex girlfriend's baby's father is her stepbrothers. Not her brothers but that is still pretty bad.

No it's fine.

I believe you mean YouTube video

its wrong today but has been accepted through out most of history.

I'd rather choke down a barrel of puke than sleep with a relative. Something inside of me just knows it's not normal. Well I think I'll toast to the next malformed generation that your seed produces.
