I doubt it...There are certain societal mores that dictate the "proper" relationship between siblings, parents & children, etc. Apples and oranges. Two consenting adults who were strangers before developing a sexual relationship is completely different from a parent/child or two cousins or siblings crossing that line.
>Is incest wrong?
I hesitate to say it's "right" or "wrong", but w/out getting into all that, I'll say yes.
>Is it a personal choice?
what do you mean by "choice"? Yes, some people "choose" to do that, but when you KNOW a woman is your sister and you have a desire to sleep with her, that's indicative of some other, deeper problem.
>Is it natural?
"natural" is becoming a loaded word...but short answer, no
>How is homosexuality different?
As stated, two consenting, adults w/ no family ties.
>How is it different in a >way that makes incest wrong/unnatural, >but homosexuality OK?
There are no ties binding these two people outside their own relationship. They didn't grow up together, share parents or a family. They are acting on a mutual attraction at a point of sexual maturity. Most cases of incest are a child/adolescent being taken advantage of by an older, more experienced adult figure.
Just doesn't seem like a fair comparison to me.
