Not fair to the child? A sick child with mental handicaps causes immense costs that the tax payer has to come up for.
It is not fair towards society in the first! It's also an exploitation or a corruption of the overall biological "quality" (don't know another adequate word at the moment) of the human gen-pool. The risk of genetic defects becoming latent mounts with every incestously born generation.
Incest relations therefore should not be considered normal, and by the biological desiogn of our sexual reproduction cycle they are not normal, too, like homosexual relations aren't normal in that context, too.
And lets not throw "agape" and "eros" into the same pot. It's two very different concepts.
We do not pay attention to this single fact because after the Nazis we are afraid to be accused of eugenics immediately, but increasing the survival rate of individuals with crippling genetic defects, as modern medicine enables us, not only comes at the price of growing financial costs, but also at the price of making the human genome more defective - at least when people with genetic defects survice until they can reproduce and their disease gets carried over to their offspring. For this reason for example we see a constant rise of weak eyes in civilised industrial populations, and see more and more people needing to wear eye glasses. We also have more and more bleeders, becasue they do not die in acidents anymore before becoming sexually active.
We pussyfoot around these impolications from medical innovations, becasue a.) we so far have no answers to the challenges raised by these implications, and b.) it is only a question of time until we get accused of being Nazis and their eugenic policies when we dare to mention these implications.
Let'S keep it simple and managable and safe. Incestous rerlations tabooised in general, no matter whether they are platonmic or not. For the same reason I am against this weasel-dance about alcohl limits when driving car, 0.8 or 0.5 promils - keep it simple and easily managable: zero alcohol for car drivers. Period.
We just cannot please just everybody .
