I wonder if genetic engineering could get rid of the harmful recessive genes that cause inbreeding depression then siblings loving each other would be accepted. The child of two siblings would share 75% of their DNA with their parents, more than the usual 50%. Without the downside of inbreeding you could make an argument that your sibling is an ideal partner. Once such a world exists men everywhere will be cumming in their sisters day and night. It sucks that I don’t have a little sister. Maybe I could make a female clone of myself with all her negative genes edited out.

If you're seriously asking, then unlikely from the tech we currently have, and probably from tech we might have in the future also. We still understand very little about DNA despite studying it for many decades now.
I mean, we know the general rule about it, but the specific like which part of DNA is doing what is pretty unknown and takes many yeas to understand just a tiny part of it.

And the crux of it all is that, so far, one part isn't responsible for one single thing; so, it'll never be as easy as turning this part off and everything is fine and dandy. By turning that part off, some weird shit will also happen somewhere else. Like, eye color is not govern by 1 part of the gene, but maybe 3 different parts; and turning all 3 off might get you the desired eye color, but then your taste bud might just acting weird all of a sudden because 1 of those 3 happens to govern it, too, somehow.

Identifying deleterious genes should be easy enough, usually they’re just broken versions of genes. If a version of a gene is the same in 99% of people it probably works, if it’s recessive and very rare it’s probably fine to edit out. Plus we already know a lot of the majorly deleterious genes, swapping out the genes that cause cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia for the normal version is still a huge decrease in the severity of inbreeding depression.
