Re: Do you consider this incest?

Canada. Technically they're all incest. The first one would be worse, mostly cus there's more of a power imbalance. With the other two, as long as they're consenting adults.... My best friend's parents were first cousins, which may explain the fact she only has one kidney and had two uteruses.

Also, when I was in high school (mid to late 80s) there was an incest "scandal" in a neighbouring area. It was multigenerational and involved parents, kids, extended family. They were a poor family living on one of the mountains; they lived in shacks with no electricity or running water. Few of the adults had gone to school (and some were mentally disabled). And when the RCMP questioned them, most freely admitted to what they had done. There was physical and mental abuse as well. Sad thing is, I'm sure they weren't the only family that was happening in.

It only explains your best friend's situation if it's caused by a genetic disorder that both parents carried the genes for, rather than something else (there are a lot of epigenetic factors that can affect fetal deveolpment) - and even then, only in that close interbreeding significantly raises the statistical likelihood of offspring inheriting genetic traits carried along the family line. And with a single generation of first-cousin breeding, it's really just bad luck if a deleterious trait shows up - most of the major examples of Why Inbreeding Is Bad are the result of close-kin breeding followed by close-kin breeding followed by close-kin breeding for multiple generations.
