if your parents are siblings, does that technically mean that you're your own cousin?

No it means you're OP

[Anonymous No.10423915]

it means your sibling has much closer genetic distance, serious malformation occur after a few generations

How many generations of pic related could you realistically get away with IRL before you produce only sterile deformed mutants?

It tops out at about 6 generations anyway since you would at that point probably be dead
It's more about chance, I'm no biologist but I would assume if you kept trying for a girl who was fertile you would eventually have one. Consanguinity due to inbreeding is uncommon in humans; there isn't really data to back it up. Maybe if you looked at dog breeds you would find something since they are extremely inbred in certain cases.

In this case though the daughters would be asymptotically approaching genetic clones of yourself. If you yourself don't have an unusual amount of genetic defects, why would your clone-daughters have them? Sorry I can't into biology

I think it has to do with how alleles work, with a person genetically different enough you'll have some dominant and some recessive traits, but if you're trying to hit parity with yourself your genes will end up getting to a point where your kids will have a ton of fully recessive or fully dominant alleles which would lead to issues. If you're ee and your daughter is Ee, eventually that gene will become ee after enough generations. If you're HH then your daughters will always be HH.
I'm not that smart on this either.
