I'm not really sure there is a 'genetic' factor to it. You have to be careful of 'genetic' explanations, as they are often a sort of snake oil explanation. Since we know genetics plays a huge role in our biochemistry and everything else - we like to make the assumption that phenomena with unknown origins/explanations are genetic.

What we do know is that if two people are raised together, they are highly unlikely to partner later on in life. Childhood friends, in reality, rarely end up getting married for much this reason. It is suspected that this is a sort of natural way to try and drive people to seek those outside of the close family (and increase the likelihood of introducing different genes) - but it isn't known for certain.

What is also known is that the occasional 'inbred' relationship is not necessarily destructive. While it is over multiple generations - if the parents were from distinct enough groups, then any kids are highly unlikely to have problems (maternal diet has a greater influence).

The campaign against family relationships was largely launched by the Catholic Church to break up the power of royalty and aristocracy. It was customary for cousins of powerful families to be married to each other to produce heirs. Marriages with other powerful families were done not just for political brokering of power but also to keep 'new blood' running in the family. Without any knowledge of DNA, people knew that families who didn't allow outsiders into the reproductive chain got a little ... different ...

The Church, seeking to solidify its own power, largely broke up the royalty structures by teaching that it was a sin to marry someone who was closer than something like three vectors.

Not that I advocate marrying into your family - but it's not nearly as massive of an issue as it has been made out to be.

she might be healthy, but doesnt change the fact than her gene is inferior to most people and if she has a child it may be bad for her

Her gene would only be "inferior" if the increased homozygosity was effectual, that's the only difference. Going on the presupposition that she's shown no birth defects, she is in no way inferior.

Following on with that train of thought, if she has a child in a "normal" relationship and so on, the chances of there being birth defects are no different to any other child. It's only after constant inbreeding throughout generations that problems can​ start to occur.

OT: It's very ignorant to say "they should split up" so flippantly, it shows a lack of emotional maturity.

How sad for a 10 year old to have this happen in the family. I suppose the child should learn the truth eventually. Hopefully from the parents.

I don't care what anyone thinks, if they want to stay together they should stay together, the fact that they have a kid is just all the more reason to stay together.

Incest is wincest.

I can't imagine doing my sister not knowing she was my sister and then staying together with her. I'd probably kill myself if that happened. Real Talk.[SUB]

Then you're so weak as a person , i mean , if you kill yourself not realizing what really happened , first think . is it their fault or the woman that abandon them as kids ( and we don't have no idea about their fathers ) , one may say that woman has her reasons then one must understand these two didn't knew a thing about this and they've come a long way and they've to think about the their child as well .

If you want to despise someone , do that to those brothers , who rapes their sisters knowing that's their own sister .

and researchers have found that many couples that attract each other and happy together has similar genetics then if you're living together with someone like that remember you're living together with someone close to been your sister or brother >_>

When their daughter will do something wrong, she's going to get picked on by their friends like: "Girl, are your mother and father brother and sister?".
