morality

I just read an article review one of my fellow learners has read for this week and posted her discussion on. it deals with studying morality and in order to do this the researchers decided to focus on incest and whether or not we are born with this notion that sleeping with our brother (or sisters) is wrong. i'm not going to attempt to evaluate this hypothesis, or even explain how the researchers measured...and i don't have the link to the research, but i could probably get it if anyone is that interested. but that person's post made me think of that first porn film i have ever seen...taboo part 2. i was a kid, we were down in the basement at the bailey's house and someone said hey watch this. i don't remember how many kids were in that basement, but i remember that the film was about all kinds of incest...creepy incest brother-sister, mother-son, father-daughter it was creepy. i don't need to go into all the details, but damn that shit was crazy!! (and totally 70's). anyway, here i am all grown up taking a master's level research class and reading another learner's thoughts and ideas and i want to start giggling like a little kid. now is incest the barometer for morality? or maybe porn which contains incest? i don't know, but i thought it was kinda funny.
