Answer 1

Incest entails blood relation closer than 1st cousin

Answer 2

You have to be related in order to consider that incest, but it sounds like the dad is doing sexual stuff to your friend and he's under 18 yrs of age then the dad would be considered a pedifile and that is illegal.

Answer 3

NO. It's only incest if two people are related by blood.

Answer 4

Its not really incest but its kind of nasty. I mean the people treat you like family and you go do that?? Thats wrong but not incest unless it's with your immediate family

Answer 5

if it's two guys then he's just gay an that wouldn't be incest cause he can't get prego...but if there was a girl in the family that he as messing with it wouldn't be incest caues they are not blood related but just creepy

Answer 6

Mutant rabbits, likely. @Alaric: Yeah, the Egyptians used incest to save the flexibility in the relations. What you disregarded is that many of the youngsters were fairly deformed, or poor in a roundabout way. they had to have quite some babies previously one got here out ok.

Answer 7

No, If they are not blood related in any way it is not considered incest.

Answer 8

Not incest, there's no blood relation.

Answer 9

I would agree with the "not incest" crowd, as you were not really related by birth parents...

Answer 10

Incest is sexual activity between close family members. Incest is considered taboo, and forbidden (fully or slightly) in the majority of current cultures. The precise meaning of the word varies widely, because different cultures have differing notions of "sexual activity" and "close family member". Some cultures consider only those related by birth, while others include those related by adoption or marriage. Some prohibit sexual relations between people who grew up in the same household, while others prohibit sexual relations between people who grew up in related households.

Incest can occur between same-sex as well as opposite-sex relatives. It can also occur between related children as well as between parents and their children. In addition, there have been cases of incest between adult relatives.

Incest between close blood-relations is a crime in most nations even in cases where the sex is consensual, although again the extent of the definition of "close" varies. However, since incest is an interpersonal act that takes place in private, it is a difficult law to be enforced. There are wide differences between nations as to how serious the crime of incest is. In some countries, such as Australia, incest is a serious indictable offence, while in others it is a minor crime with much less serious consequences.

The concepts of "incest" and "inbreeding" are distinct.

Incest refers to socially taboo sexual activity between individuals who are considered to be too closely related to enter into marriage. In other words, it is a social and cultural term.

Inbreeding, on the other hand, refers to procreation between individuals with varying degrees of genetic closeness only, regardless of their relative social positions. It is a scientific term rather than a social or cultural term.

In many societies, the definition of incest and the degree of inbreeding may correlate positively. For example, sexual relations between people of a given degree of genetic closeness is considered incestuous. In other societies, the correlation may not be as obvious. Many cultures consider relationship between parallel cousins incestuous, but not those between cross cousins, although the degree of genetic relationship does not differ. Relationships may be considered incestuous even when there is no genetic relationship at all: stepparent-stepchild relationships, or between a man and his sister-in-law, or a woman and her brother-in-law, have been considered incestuous, even though they involve no risk of inbreeding above that of the original marriage.

The consequence of inbreeding is to increase the frequency of homozygotes within a population. Depending on the size of the population and the number of generations in which inbreeding occurs, the increase of homozygotes may have either positive or negative effects.
