Would you be put off if "your guy" asked for a DNA test of your baby?

Personally, I believe ALL babies should be given mandatory DNA tests for paternity. That way nothing can be hidden and she can't pull the "don't you trust me" card.

We have 10+% of births happen with the father never knowing the kid isn't his. WOW!

I mean babies are ran through a myriad of simple tests before they leave the hospital, you'd think knowing who the father was might rank up there a little higher

Just like getting a blood test before marriage. How many people get an incurable disease because they were in love and "trusted" the other person?

I say on the birth certificate beside the father's name it should read:

"Proven Father via DNA Testing"

or

"Father by Law Only. Full Responsibility Acknowledged & Accepted"

I'm not a cheating *****. I would be very insulted if my boyfriend/husband asked for a DNA paternity test. If you're even contemplating asking, maybe you should re-evaluate your relationship.

I agree with you on this. I think it should be mandatory, too. A father's name, shouldn't be put on a birth certificate, until this is done.

Actually I agree with you but not for the same reasons.

This would remove any doubt for those poor women that the man accuses of cheating on them.

It's proven once and for all that yes...dear sir, you ARE the father so you ARE responsible. Quit trying to duck your responibilities. Be a man and own up to it. You play you pay.

Personally, I wouldnt care as long as I didnt have to pay for it. I can see where such may cause unnessary pain suffering and fatherless children. Would be a plus for the divorce attorneys.

I recall back in the dark ages of high school biology our teacher told us it was no longer permitted for students to do blood typing because it resulted in some revelations on paternity and subsequent divorce.

I'm really not sure of the point being made here. DNA testing is available when paternity is in doubt, so why should it be something done at birth (or before birth as that's possible now) or at any time as long as no question of paternity has been raised?

And a blood test before entering into marriage isn't mandated everywhere, either ...

I would have no objection. Each one of my babies knows exactly which one their daddies is.

Here is a family photo - aren't they beautiful kids?
