My arguments against allowing incest

3) While they have disagreed on who constitutes your family, EVERY CULTURE EVER has agreed that you are NOT to have se with them. Even lying has at least one exception! Until a missionary came over, the Sawi tribe of New Guinea were a cannibalistic tribe of Headhunters who held Deceit as the highest virtue. (look up the Book Peace Child). If even lying, something that is obviously objectively bad rather than subjectively bad, has one culture say otherwise, then surely incest, with all agreeing on it being bad, must be even worse.

4) If the family members involved are of differeing generations (parent and child, aunt\uncle and nephew niece, grandparent and grandchild, etc.) Think how much that would disrupt the family hierarchy! Let's say that there's this forty year old woman who's twenty year old son becomes her mother's boyfriend. How is she supposed to treat him anymore? Like a son, or a father?

5) The incest taboo forms one verebrae in the backbone of society, as it forces someone to search for a spouse outside their own house.
