To wonder if it's really anybody else's business (warning: incest)

[Sealia]

High quality Christmas reading indeed, I know, but I was leafing through an addition of That's Life! and found an article about a woman who had been adopted and met her adoptive brother. They fell in love and are having a baby together (baby doesn't seem to have been planned.)

Now I understand that the baby part is not really cricket due to risks to health but in this age where not only contraception but also donor eggs and sperm are accessible is there really any need for a draconian law about sexual relations? Or am I being hugely U?

I'd have thought in a case like the OP you have the relationship, you move somewhere no-one knows you, you don't mention you're related and you don't have kids (at least not with each other).

I don't think this should be prosecuted and I don't think the prosecutor would probably deem it "in the public interest".

I do think the laws around incest are a good thing though.
