Australia to Make Secret Paternity Testing Illegal

Submitted by Adam on Mon, 2002-07-22 23:00

Bad News for fathers in Australia - it appears that secret paternity testing is to become a
criminal offence. Yep, that's right: if you're a man who wants to know, you'll soon be a
criminal unless you do it "their way". What is their way? According to
this article,
the rumored recommendations are: "FORCE fathers to get the mother's consent to do a test. MAKE it illegal to
steal DNA for a test. ORDER mandatory counselling for families seeking a test. IMPOSE a code
of practice for private testing laboratories." I guess it's like the old saying, the
truth will set you free, I imagine that's why they want to keep the nearest man ignorant?
