In the society where you live, under the laws of your government, is incestuous intimate activity between 2 consenting adults legally allowed?
In the way in which you have been brought up, based on the advice given to you by influential people throughout your personal life, do you have a positive or negative opinion of incestuous intimate activity between consenting adults?
Please do not bring in statements of insanity, insults and condemnations based on religious beliefs, or any abstractions of what incestuous intimate activity sometimes includes. This means no comments about rape, child abuse, incestuous pregnancy, inbreeding, pornography, public endangerment, indecent exposure, past laws, or wishes for how laws should be. Your welcome to chastise me for asking the question if you feel offended, but I would prefer you simply not answer. Most importantly, don't assume I have or will ever act incestuously, or approve or condone others' incestuous activity. Don't assume I won't.

Please also add the country or province in which you live, so I know from where you speak.

Here in Canada, I assume that consensual sex between two adult siblings is illegal because incest is illegal everywhere in the world. However, I do not believe that the authorities would undertake a prosecution if such a couple were discovered. I do not think that the authorities would waste time in court on such a case. The publicity would be punishment enough. If the relationship had produced children, I think the child welfare authorities would remove them.
Personally, I think the idea of sex between consenting adult siblings is creepy but it shouldn't be illegal.

Incest is not morally right, for the reason of birth defects from inbreeding mostly. It is most certainly illegal to have incestuous relations in my country. Personally I would never consider it. The fact that two adults consent to it does not make it right the same as with homosexuality. You can try to justify it all you like, but it's just not the right thing to do.

Yes to both. Why on earth anyone would want to have sex with a relative? Not to mention if child is born coz of that, the child will be severly disabled. Why would anyone give such a pain and misery to a new born baby?
Incest in any form is illegal in my country, Finland.

Very negative opinion of people who would do this.
