That's great, but if I'm to be convinced I need the name of the book or at least a link of information.

Studies aside, if you look at it purely by probability, then yes, the probability of birth defects or that even a "bad" recessive gene is passed on increases quite dramatically. But like I said before, defects might not actually start showing up until a few generations later, so one isolated case of incest may not be a big deal if their children don't have incestuous relationships.
Well then there's the 'if'. If by allowing incest we have given way to the argument that to permit it is to permit free will, then to continue that line of logic we can't ban it in later generations, allowing them to continue in it (and if they've been brought up in that environment, surely they'll regard it as more normal?) and cause harm to children in later generations.
