  1. @metaltao Well kinda. From a pure safety standpoint, It depends how similar the phenotypes of the parents are. Genetically healthy cousins are probably no big deal. Genetically healthy half sisters/brothers are probably, again, safe. Genes don't know about "families". The problems associated with incest arise because of similarity between the genes leading to damaging recessive traits being expressed more frequently in homozygous parings.
