the thing is that if you become incestuous you increase the possibilities of giving a hereditary decease to your offspring, because both of you have the same parents the genes that may be heterozygous and recessive (which are in most important illnesses) may now be given to the offsprings. the thing is that when you do that 😮 you are not bound to have freaks as children you just increase the probabilities into giving then some hereditary diseases.
the truth is that , at the old times incest wasn't a taboo but it was even promoted in order to keep the bloodlines
the myth is probably manufactured in order to keep the society stable and have the idea of the family strong. also they may do it in order to avoid the deceases
Bill Bryson, "The Stuff of Life":
"If you go back sixty-four generations, to the time of the Romans, your total number of forebears has risen to approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is several thousand times the total number of people who've ever lived... Remember, these aren't cousins and aunts and other incidental relatives, but only parents and parents of parents in a line leading ineluctably to you... Clearly Something has gone wrong with our math here. The answer, may interest you to learn, is that your line is not pure. You couldn't be here without a little incest - actually quite a lot of incest...In fact, if you are in a partnership now with someone from your own race and country, the chances are excellent that you are at some level related. Indeed if you look around you on a bus or in a park or cafe or any crowded place, most of the people you see are very probably relatives. When someone boasts to you that he is descended from William the Conqueror or the Mayflower Pilgrims, you should answer at once: 'Me too!'. In the most literal and fundamental sense we are all family."

Does anyone know a case or can refer me to something that shows ****ing your sibling will result in children with three eyes and down syndrome?
Please do the human race a favor and go straight to Hell, where you belong.

Real case scenario:Brother and sister had a child while father is screwing around with youngest daughter of his and has a child. The brother and sisters child was born with both genitalia.
