however, the major objection most people have to incest has
nothing to do with conscious calculation of genetics ... incest taboo is
an evolved adaptation rationalized as a moral axiom. even though the
ultimate reason for this adaptation is genetic, it doesn't really matter
because we are what we are ... and until we change what we are it's still
going to be really difficult to change what we do.
