    In regards to #1 - I have never understood the whole blood related = gross. Like I get it, risk of genetic disease is much higher.But I have always though that the grosness comes from the nature of the pre-existing relationship dynamic.

    Lets say two peoe who met in their 20s and are married do an ill guided mail-in ancestry test and find out they are 1st cousins or even siblings. Apart from the obvious issue of managing offspring risk, I don’t see why this would automatically kill the relationship or be gross.

    E: Interesting, seems ive hit an unpopular opinion. Anyone care to elaborate?
