Paternity Fraud: Should DNA Tests Be Mandatory For Newborn Babies?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ages ago, when I dated a guy in the Air Force, he told me it was mandatory that children with military parents be tested for correct paternity to receive benefits. I cringed, arguing that it was insulting and disrespectful and interfered with patient confidentiality and anyway, who would seriously lie about the paternity of a child?

That only happens on Maury, right?

Actually...it happens to more than 250,000 men a year in America. And, it happened to an old college friend of mine who just found out that the child he had given his name to, wasn't his.
...
And then, days, months or years later, you find out that that child does not share your genetic makeup. You find out that you were deceived. And if the duped father decides that he wants to leave whatever union created that child, he is still required to legally finance that child's life.'
