Grooming is the real reason this is so wrong, parent child and even sibling relationships should have an element of trust in them that means when you are told right and wrong, that is the norm. It seems the scenareo here is easier to discuss as those involved are over 16/18 however to end up in this position, the sons definitions of normal and acceptable must have been severly screwed up by his parents (and the article does indicate a history of abuse).
As a parent you are in a position of trust, sleeping with your children in this manner is an abuse of this, as a sibling (i am thinking more of a older sibling relationship here) you are also often put in the same position for periods of time, the same level of trust should apply.
I'm suprised that formerly black, formely popular, singer have not appeared in this thread yet.

Good point about the genetic defects, we don't practice eugenics with people who already have genetic defects, so why should we do it against people who only "may" have genetic defects.
Remember, you may have a defective recesive gene, but that doesn't mean a close family member of the opposite gender automatically has it too.
So, that leaves the protection against grooming as a valid reason for keeping incest illegal, after all, we have similar rules against the risk of teachers/doctors and other influential/authority figures grooming children.
Edit - Can we keep away from the "it's disgusting" arguments? they're just personal opinions.
