I wouldnt do it, but if consenting adults indulge in it and there is no scope for abuse, I have no problem. Cant force my personal ethics upon others.
Its common for Muslims to marry their cousins and incest is accepted in certain old tribal societies, so incest is also rooted in tradition in some places. Whether that trend is healthy is a matter of debate as always. Plus, innumerable recent researches show that marriage/sexual relations within the family is liable to cause birth defects in the children.
I remember a friend remarking that the entire human race is a product of an incestual relationship, because there would have been copulation/sexual relations within the first human family itself for the progeny to continue. And then he went off on a tangent about religion and something about incest in the Bible.
