I totally understand what you're saying regarding incest. I don't think it is inherently bad, when genetics and biological factors are removed.

However, I believe that all parties involved in any sort of sexual relationship should be able to consent. The problem is that, while in theory, sibling/sibling relationships can be consensual (I don't think parent/child can ever be) it becomes kind of tough, in real life, to actually find a situation where such a consensual, healthy relationship could actually exist. When a sibling/sibling relationship exists, it tends to indicate that the children think the only valid method of expressing love is through sex (which is usually indicative of sexual abuse by the parents). With that sort of psychological damage, it probably is a REALLY bad idea for those siblings to get together.

Plus, among siblings, age differences tend to matter a lot more than they would in normal relationships. An older sibling would tend to have an unfair psychological position of power that would negate consent the vast majority of the time.

(It's a whole different game when you get into the separated-at-birth, raised in different families thing, though.)

Sorry, tl;dr. I suck. :(

You're right, totally. I'm not here saying "Incest is great!" (which is what one unfortunate member of my writing class declared the other day... he meant as a plot device in fiction, but we were still like LOLWHAT?), just that in the specific scenario described in the secret, there doesn't seem to be a moral basis for them to refrain from a sexual relationship. There are other reasons not to (as someone else said, methods of contraception may fail, and then you've got kids with a higher probability of birth defects, plus the social stigma, and the rest of the family to deal with...), but... yeah.
