“If you and your opposite sex sibling were the only humans left on Earth, would you reproduce to save humanity? Would this be morally wrong? Would the incestuous offspring be able to continue life?”
Wait, you’re saying I am one of the last two humans left on the planet and I am expected to repopulate the Earth with my brother to save all of humanity?
Hey, as much as I love him, this is a kid who put gum in my hair, just to see what would happen.
This is the same kid who spit on the last brownie on the plate, so the rest of us wouldn’t take it.
This is a kid who parked his smelly feet on the coffee table, after football practice, and laughed at our reaction while we were trying to watch TV.
I’m sorry … that just isn’t happening. It has nothing to do with morality.
(sigh)
Bye-Bye Earth.

This is funny, C.J. I had no siblings but as a potential mother (someday--but of course that ship has now sunk, haha) I used to wonder what it would be like to try to help sons and daughters navigate the rocky shoals of puberty. I think John Irving's Hotel New Hampshire showed sibling incest in the midst of a bohemian family's life. When I reflected on it, I knew it was not something I cared to dabble in as the worst case scenario was so unpalatable as to make the entire venture moot.
That IS pretty bad. It seems a lot of siblings like to torment each other in their younger years.
