Perhap the interpretations are not PC (sexist bullshit), but the facts can't
be wrong can they? Just a simple DNA/Blood type match as far as I can tell.
The study is consistent with earlier work that found a 10% impossible
blood-type match between newborns and their supposed fathers.
In history, fathers have killed offspring they believed to be biologically
not theirs. Since the primal drive is to spread one's DNA, a man would not
want to expend economic and emotional resources to bring up a child not his.
This was more critical in times when resources were scarce, but the
biiological drive instilled in men still exists, I believe.
Tough on the kids though, since it ain't their fault. Reminds me of of the
old adage about how...There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate
parents.
I feel that if a man isn't the biofather, he should not be unwillingly be
required to support a child. If it were to happen to me, I'd take my real
kids overseas and abandon the wife to fend for herself---maybe to set up
house with the "real" father. This was not part of the marriage contract, and
laws written to protect women and children are patently unfair in this regard.
If 50% of all marriages end in divorce, and 10% of kids are illegitimate,
this would suggest that with a 100% discovey rate, 25% of all divorces might
be caused by this. Looks like society's little dirty secret.
For once, scientific progress (DNA matching) on a mandatory basis could
actually serve to solidify marriages and provide a better emotional climate
for children if other husbands felt the same way I do.
