Interesting stuff! I do alot of reading & research, & genetics/descendants of inbreeding although absolutely taboo in my mind, nevertheless has not blinded me to the fact that even in America regardless of legality occurs alot more frequently than most people care to assume. A friend of mine had been molested repeatedly by her natural father from the time she was 11-13. Her dad had been born and raised in a rural area of the deep south, & while it wasn't talked about, & marriages didnt occur between siblings or parent/child, interbreeding between older brother &/or father rapes on younger sisters/daughters was accepted "in the closet" & went unreported.
Several M.D. coworkers I questioned in the past had told me conceptions resulting between half siblings or parent child unions could in fact often times be free of defects and without apparent consequences to being born healthy and living productive lives. They would, of course need to consult with MD specialist in genetic counseling to get a more reliable answer, as blood work, genetic tests would have to be obtained from each birth parent because each case is unique. Results could potentially fall anywhere from catastrophic, normal, to superior intelligence and/or immunity from diseases many are vulnerable to.
The probability of dimenished health/physical/mental defects becomes greater when interbreeding continues to produce offspring into 2nd, 3rd, 4th + generations--such as European royalty bloodline. King Henry VIII from what I've researched was credited to having been "the most gifted" of England's kings as a young man with superior strength in body, excelled in hunting, jousting, archery, as well as possesing superior intelligence, well educated, and composed beautifal music, songs, poetry, and if I remember correctly, could play some musical instruments very well.
Eventually repeated sports injuries would one day prevent him from exercise, which combined with the excessive consumption of red meats, ale, bread, and wine (veggies were considered peasant food) caused obesity, gout, maybe diabetes that ultimately killed him, not his genes, though some of his wives suffered from dysmennorrhea, difficulty conceiving, and inability to sustain viable pregnancies resulting in miscarriages, stillborns, or not living past 2-3 yrs.
The Hutterites on Nat Geo I could tell immediately they were generations of the practice of interbreeding, as they pretty much all look the same. I had met someone that had been born a hermaphordite years ago that had fathered several children, yet had the capability of having been a mother had he/she chosen by C-section. The docs I questioned had said brother/sister sharing same mother and father would involve the most potential risk, as opposed to parent/child or 1st cousins because full siblings both share the same 2 parents. This got me wondering if a hermaphrodite copulated with itself and produced a child would the risk be even greater than brother-sister equal?
I know thats a strange thing to wonder but Ive always had a mind wondering about things considered surreal by mainstream society no doubt. I havent yet been able to find hypothetical theories or facts to answer my question no doubt because hermaphrdites are rare and the ones I have read about eventually became either male or female in US or Canada, or lived as lady boys in India, Thailand, or Japan but none that I know of, except for a fictional character in a Dean Koontz book. Any thoughts?

though I never was around it as far as I'm aware. Very interesting that sometimes interbreeding leads to strong immunities to certain diseases. Reminds me of something I read about the black plague. Seems some people were genetically immune to it and some weren't. I'd love to learn more about this shit. Tell us more!
