No dude
I take the view that just because something is distasteful, it shouldn't be proscribed, abortion for instance, is distasteful to many people but is clearly something that should be available in society. Similarly homosexuality, viewed with distaste by some people but no justification for proscribing it. I do see, however, that there are some things that in (western) society are very much frowned on, legally and morally. Incest is one of these things. There are reasons why this is so. You are an intelligent guy, I can't fathom why you can't see incest as being wrong in any way at all.

Surely if sibling incest isn't automatically wrong, then neither is child/ parent incest? And if not, why not?

"There are reasons why this is so"
And I want to know what they are. I've not heard anything convincing yet. Noone has offered an explanation of its wrongness here. The most that's been offered is a claim that we're disposed against it. But that's a bare fact of biology, not a moral claim; it won't tell us anything about how we should think about someone who doesn't share the aversion that most putatively have, or whether that's a moral problem or simply an interesting personality quirk.

See my reply to Roota below about the parent thing.

One of those reasons is the point about growing up with that person

*bangs head on desk*

But that's not a moral reason!
