how much do you think it would cost to force everybody to have blood tests? could you reasonabley expect the devoted couple to front the cost to prove that the child they know is theirs is indeed theirs?
A: If it was universally mandated the cost would shrink to a fraction of it's current level. The identification of parenthood is a simple test too, it doesn't require a great deal, and the technology is improving all the time.
Many unfortunate fathers have discovered one way or another that they aren't the biological parent after all, significant numbers of them as testing has become more common. I make no judgment as to how this happens, but it is a fact nonetheless. Since any honest mother has absolutely nothing to fear from such a test it doesn't seem reasonable to object to it, in my book.
It would certainly save a lot of people a lot of pain later on, and prevent the true father from evading his responsibilities.
Altogether, it sounds like a win/win, so why not?
