Well where to start with this topic! Talk about keeping it in the family! First of all it is wrong. Many people do not always know why it is wrong and find it hard to define why it is. Incest means having sexual intercourse with a blood relation.
Centuries ago having sexual intercourse with a blood relation was the norm; even royalty married and had relationships with their blood relations. Personally, I feel incest is wrong, morally, ethically- you just would not commit this act.
Sometimes people have by accident found out they have slept with a blood relative. These people are usually adopted before hand and meet somewhere who they later find out to be a blood relation.
Some individuals agree with incest and do not think it is a bad thing to do. This story outlines a woman’s experience of sleeping with her brother. Now that they have both parted she says she has no regrets and misses her brother in the sense of the sex she received and the comfort from him. I think this is wrong because imagine if she caught pregnant the child could have so many complications. http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/families/article4332635.ece
There are detailed laws in relation to incest and nearly every legal system has an act which states it forbids incest. For example in the UK the law incest is a criminal offence and in 2004 the law was updated and incest offences began to include not just blood relatives but also foster and adoptive parents and live-in partners. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3675057.stm
Overall, I feel incest is wrong morally, ethically and just plain wrong. I do not see how a person could sleep with a blood relative and to be honest it makes me feel ill just thinking about it. Imagine what an incest couples child would turn out like- it would not be fair on them. I think someone would need to receive psychological help if they even attempted to commit incest. What do you think?

I found this topic interesting because different people have different opinions about this topic. I am not saying that incest in right buy many years ago like in Egypt people would sleep or marry a family member. So why do the society frown upon incest? I think it’s because of science for example if you had sex with you brother and you had a child the child would most probably come out deformed because of the parent share the same DNA. It’s because of society that people’s views on incest have changed. What do you think?
ReplyDeletethis is stupid. incest is wrong because it's "morally, ethically and just plain wrong"? how is it morally wrong? because god or the bible says so? it's ethically wrong because it's unnatural? because the society says so? because the laws say so? non-consensual incest is obviously wrong (it should rather be considered as abuse or rape). so what i'm referring here is consensual incest.
ReplyDeletemost people think it's wrong because they believe that offspring produced from such mating is genetically defect. first of all, that isn't quite true. such offspring would only have a higher probability of being born defect. however, with condoms or other birth-control methods, this shouldn't be a big problem at all. secondly, if incest is wrong on the same basis, then shouldn't even non-related couples carrying genetic disease or anomalies be prevented from mating? this is clearly a display of double standard.
Is it because you think incest is plain gross? you shouldn't impose whatever you feel onto others as if you are being morally superior. that's hypocrisy.
