Incest is frequently a form of abuse or [[pedophilia]], as the most common occurrence is between siblings (an older sibling preying on a younger) or between a parent and a child. Both boys and girls can be the victims of this sort of incestual abuse by a family member, and although with boys it is more likely to be [[homosexual]], both genders are equally likely to experience physical coercion.<ref>[http://www.clinicalsocialwork.com/incest.html "Incest"], ''Pat McClendon's Social Work''</ref> | Incest is frequently a form of abuse or [[pedophilia]], as the most common occurrence is between siblings (an older sibling preying on a younger) or between a parent and a child.

Incest, "The Game the Whole Family Can Play", is the activity of having sex with your close relatives and the only known point on which Christian fundamentalists and rational geneticists agree: Do Not Do This.[1]
Incest is frequently a form of abuse or pedophilia, as the most common occurrence is between siblings (an older sibling preying on a younger) or between a parent and a child. Both boys and girls can be the victims of this sort of incestual abuse by a family member, and although with boys it is more likely to be homosexual, both genders are equally likely to experience physical coercion.[2]
The biological result of too much incest (if safe sex is not practiced) can be the manifestation of normally rare, recessive, genetic traits with unpleasant consequences. After too much reproductive incest, the family tree starts to look more like a ladder.
Ironically, incest is vital to the development of extreme traits in prized domesticated plants and animals. This is called "line breeding", and it is typically done by mating offspring with their parents. Since a few generations of this can lead to problems as described above, then there is usually an "out breeding" to remix the genes a bit.
One problem with most anti-incest arguments is that they tend to focus only on procreative sex, ignoring the likely possibility that many incestuous couples don't want, or even can't have children (like gay incestuous couples, or those that use birth control).
