Yeah, the whole genetic deformities thing is a bit of a joke. In most cases, genetic defects are actually the result of a combination of different genes, rather than a single one. While sibling love can potentially lead to a greater expression of recessive traits, the odds of any significant genetically-induced health problems in a first generation inbred baby are not significantly higher than in the general population. On top of that, the risk decreases at an exponential rate as we move to family members who are farther apart, since they introduce greater genetic diversity.
Food for thought: if you go back far enough, we're all inbred.
I do not feel in any way attracted to either of my sisters. None of my cousins do anything for me either. However, if two people are old enough to make this decision competently and decide that this is what they want to do, I have no problem with it. Given the world we live in today, fucking your sister is not the worst thing you could do by any means.
