Hollywood director Nick Cassevetes came out in favor of incest in an interview with The Wrap. The director of the popular romance "The Notebook" was out promoting a new film that features an incestuous relationship between a brother and sister. “I’m not saying this is an absolute but in a way, if you’re not having kids – who gives a damn? Love who you want. Isn’t that what we say? Gay marriage – love who you want?” Cassavetes said. “If it’s your brother or sister it’s super weird, but if you look at it, you’re not hurting anybody, except every single person who freaks out because you’re in love with one another.” "This whole movie is about judgment, and lack of it, and doing what you want," he added. Cassavetes film "Yellow" debuted at the Toronto Film Festival. It does not yet have a distributor.

Incest is the last taboo, isn't it - the topic no-one wants to speak about?
Most of us seem to have an almost instinctive horror at the idea.
Maybe there is something inherently wrong about young people who have grown up together in the same household having sex. Even if both are willing partners, it seems to remove the whole idea of safety within a family. Maybe it is different if the siblings were separated at a young age and met when adults.

I remember seeing a documentary years ago that said a chemical condition sets up when you've lived with someone perpetually, the way you do nuclear family members. They did some testing and concluded even if people are actually unrelated, if you put them in a family together, after a while that chemical situation sets up, and they not only wont touch each other, they'll actually feel repelled by the idea.
The explanation of course was evolution weeded out those who would create birth defects.

Toby comments.:- The subject is quite gross indeed and it is a well known fact that children born of an incestuous relationship have a massive chance of being subnormal. Cassavetes needs to promote his film but he is clutching at straws.

I don't think incest would necessarily be 'intrinsically' immoral or at least no more so that it is for anyone else who is likely to pass on a genetic defect. And of course even this argument against does not apply to same-sex incest.

He only made this baloney statement to get some free publicity for his film ,
