I was shocked to read that there are some European nations that do not prosecute for incest. This story made for a intresting read.
Romania Weighs Decriminalizing Incest
Surprising as it may seem, incest is not always a crime in Europe.
Three European Union nations - France, Spain and Portugal - do not prosecute consenting adults for incest, and Romania is considering following suit.
The shocking case of Austrian Josef Fritzl, found guilty this week of holding his daughter captive for 24 years and fathering her seven children, has focused new attention on incest - which is a crime in itself in Austria even if the acts are consensual. But in the Fritzl case it was in connection with rape, homicide and other charges that led to a sentence of life in a secure psychiatric ward.
Laws exempting parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters from prosecution for incestuous acts if they are not forced upon adult family members are decades old in France, Spain and Portugal.
Not everything that is immoral has to be illegal. We cannot help these people by turning them into criminals and punishing them.
SO do you think that is should or should not be legal if the two are consenting adults?

Well I think he should be hung up by something more then his toes 
I for one can think of a reason why it should be illigal. Besides the whole moral issue how about the offspring issue should the couple have a child. Can you tell a couple yes you can marry but just don't have children? I dont think so.
Here is my main reason why I say no - taken from the article:
Opponents say that children born out of incest face an increased risk of genetic problems, especially inherited disorders of "recessive" conditions, or those caused by a double dose of a gene that carries a mutation - one from each parent. There are about 3,500 recessive conditions, most of them very rare.
"Everyone carries several of these recessive gene mutations, but since most of them are extremely rare, the chance of two unrelated people carrying a mutation in the same gene is low," said Jess Buxton, spokesman for the British Society of Human Genetics.
But he said sexual relationships between relatives more closely related than cousins carry increased risks to offspring because the adults share a greater proportion of their genetic material. Full siblings share 50 percent of their genetic material, as do parents and their children.
"The closer the biological relationship between two people, the higher the risk of passing on a recessive condition to their children," Buxton said.
*sigh* Yeah, I know about all the genetic problems it creates.... I just dunno. 
Perhaps my knowledge and understanding/perception of incestual relationships are not correct but I associate incestual relations with molestation and other inapropriate and illegal behaviors. Where my views change a bit are a 2nd cousin marrying or a cousin and cousin marrying that didn't grow up as immediate family.. maybe that would be "ok" but, an Uncle and a niece or far deeper into the realm of incest ..siblings.. thats where I woud most definitely say no, not ok.. in my opinion anyway.

As wrong as it is, I think it should be legal. I can't think of a reason why it should be illegal. HOWEVER, the guy that trapped the daughter in the basement should be hung up my his toes and beaten.
