Is Incest Wrong?

In Britain recently, a young lady was 'caught' having sex with her brother. Both siblings have blamed the other, citing alcohol, desperation and so, on as motivations. This is not of concern. What is of concern is that "the pair were convicted of committing incest under section 1(1) of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995". The brother is 21, while his sister is 18. Now, according to the law, they should be convicted.

However, laws are not perfect. What should matter to us, firstly, is whether they've done something wrong.
