As this meditation is finished with a prayer for salvation, it was surely not
a call for something resembling "the final solution on incest".
While there are scientific evidences that this is a serious malady and sin:
"A group of 161 children from incestuous matings has been examined and
compared with 95 of their half-sibs. The parental age distribution showed considerable differences between the groups, and the period of observation
was longer in children of incestuous origin The educational level of the parents
was below average; 20 of the 141 mothers were mentally retarded. Information about the fathers was less complete in both groups, but 8 of 138 fathers in the consanguineous group were known to be mentally subnormal. Prenatal,
neonatal and infant mortality was higher among children from incestuous
unions, and mental retardation as well as congenital malformations, single
and multiple, were far more frequent among these children than among
their half-sibs who were offspring of unrelated parents."
This is an abstract from a medical scientific paper.
However, this doesn't mean that such children should be prevented from birth
by abortion, that is killing the unborn child, or killing the already born ones.
Such as children of rape, they can have worthwhile lives, and under the holiness
of life principle their lives are worthwhile and precious.
Moreover, they have not yet done good nor evil as being conceived, and the
sin is of their parents, just as some children conceived by rape achieved remarkable
achievements for mankind.
This example shows even some saints, and a Pope of Rome, have been conceived
in incest:

"Also known as either Gregory I or Gregory the Great, he was Pope of the Catholic Church
from 590 to 604. According to the 14th century document the Gesta Romanorum, he was
conceived by two of the children of Emperor Marcus around 540 AD, and was abandoned
by his naturally ashamed parents near the sea. He was found by fishermen and delivered
to the local monastery. It was after he grew up that he found tablets that informed him
about the truth about his origins.
Gregory’s legend might seem like it was some sort of slander, or maybe anti-church
propaganda. But in the story, as soon as he learned about it, he traveled to the Holy Land
as an attempt to cleanse the sin of his disgraceful origins, including living in poverty on
a coastal rock for 17 years. It would be his extreme piety that would lead to his assent
to the role of pope. Fittingly, he was able to provide absolution to his mother. "
This is the Pope prior to the Great Church Schism. This only proves that God's ways are
unsearchable, and while there are bad apples here, God was always willing to spare Sodom
for the sake of ten righteous men.
