10. Why the hell not?
They're gonna do what they're gonna do, whether or not some preacher mumbles over it. We might as well give them legal protection, although I'd encourage genetic testing in the case of hetero siblings who want to conceive.

Incestuous marriage like this is ickydoodle to the vast majority of us, which is why it would be so extremely rare as to be statistically negligible. Most people will sensibly avoid it. A miniscule minority will seek it voluntarily. They exist now and people around them assume they are married, since their names are the same. They are, however, very rare.

I see absolutely no reason in the world to prevent any adult from consenting to do anything with his life he wants to, so long as it doesn't harm anyone else. I am not anyone's nanny, and nobody is my nanny. I outgrew the need for nannies many years ago.

I find lesbian sex icky. My lesbian friends find hetero sex icky. I learned a very long time ago that we are wired very differently and that none of us has a right to tell another what is legally acceptable among consenting adults.

There is no such thing as a victimless crime. If there is no victim, there is no crime.
