Anything involving sex with children, related or not, is the worst of the worst, no question. But, after that, things get a little muddy.
Let's not forget variants, where a 30 year old has consensual sex with her 50 year old father. Weird, shocking perhaps, but not as horrific as if the daughter was a minor.

I guess that's society vs biology speaking though. I wonder if people had to rate things from "bad" to "more bad," where rape vs consensual adult sibling incest would compare. And I wonder if it would vary from culture to culture and across genders.
I understand the question of biology. That somehow dictates the general society's repugnance to siblings intercourse. This may eventually lead to abnormalities. Nature does not accept gene mixing between people who share the same genes. Nature wants diversity. Societies have fade because they didn't understood that incest would lead to their desmise.
But in my opinion, sex without reproduction, between two siblings, with no cohertion at all, leads to a no victim situation, to a no abstract evil result. There is no material wrong done. The world would not change. No harm done to anyone.
I think there are far worse things that are accepted by society, even civilized society. I think there is more evil done in apathy for the homeless, and the ederly, that in what may happen in a guy's room with her sister.
I think the world needs to rethink its prespective on what is right and wrong.
