If you mean oppose then no.\n\nI asked Jeeves & googled it and couldn't come up with anything that I could understand but thanks for trying to expand my mind

lol . . . finally a great question . . . \n\nI read the article too . . . and it felt like it was written by a woman . . . the way she reference the Percentages as Only 10% or Only 33%.  Do you really need the word only . . . no you don't . . . it is the womens way minimizing an actually large number . . . odds are the numbers are probably higher . . . and they went with the lowest in the article. . . from a different group.  This article tries to downplay the problem of women accusing men falsely \n\nYou know . . . this is fraud on the basic level . . . and if paternity went uncontested after a certain time period then . . . and then it is discovered that the child is not his . . . even if it is genetically proven.  He is still stuck paying child support.  Fraud is a crime . . . yet the government support this felony.\n\nLook at the links . . . from my blog.\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=31\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=35\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=85\n\nThis is wrong as it is selfish . . . I also answered your question regarding what is the most selfish thing a person can do . . . \n\n- - - \n\nYes . . . paternity testing is expensive . . . but is covered by most insurance . . . it is also optional in most hospitals.  But the father is afraid to ask for it . . . so not to insult his wife or girlfriend.  If it becomes manditory . . . this type of testing will radically go down in price . . . because the demand is there.  The main reason why it is a little pricy . . . is because the demand is low . . . and the training cost is high.  The demand was higher . . . then they would be more busy . . . and utilizing their training more and the cost will go down.\n\nAlso . . . the DNA testing . . . should be done by the hospital too . . . not only to confirm parentage . . . but if god forbids something happens to the child and the child needs an organ . . . 98% . . . a compatible organ can be found in the biologically father and someone answered that 1 of 6 is not compatible (in the pregnancy section) . . . and those are people who believe they are the biological fathers. \n\nThing is the parents . . . don't even need to know about the test or the results . . . unless it is proven that the father is not the father.\n\nWomen will say it will be an invasion of privacy . . . those who say that have something to hide.  It is not something to feel insulted about . . . those who feel insulted have insulted the guy they were with because they hope that the man they want is the father.\n\nPlus . . . I don't care if we put Maury out of business . . . this needs to be resolved and quickly.

I believe it is geneticly pre determined.  either you are or your not!

I think we need to do something about the violations being meted out for using people's names in questions. Honestly.\n\nAnyway, there is some evidence of a so-called "god gene."\n\nHonestly, I don't know quite as much about it as I should, but I'll give you some links. What little I do know is what I read in Time or Newsweek or US News and World Report about a year ago. I don't remember which magazine it was.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_gene\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385500580/sr=8-1/qid=1141532372/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-1832914-4225705?%5Fencoding=UTF8\n\nhttp://washingtontimes.com/world/20041114-111404-8087r.htm\n\nHere you go.\n\nWell, the amazon link won't work, but the book is "The God Gene" by Dean Hamer.

How else are they going to know if it works or not?  I don't always agree with what is being done but would you want to use an untested product that could hurt you or a family member.  Unfortunately the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.  I will admit some of the testing is not humane but it somes times needs to be done.  \n\nAre you volunteering to take their place?

base on theory, yes. but practicaly, the problem is the sample of DNA, there is complete DNA code or not.

once it is deemed trash and thrown out by the person of interest, it no longer (DNA and all) belongs to the person and the police can go trash picking all they want and do whatever with it.  This does run into some seroius ethical issues, so it is not commonly used.

quite sad as to stoop so low as to Insult the dna of mexicans Very sad people out there.I am sure the little dna are very hurt.\nThis must be the first time ever a DNA strand has experenced a racial insult, Another proud moment in american history!

I say nothing. I try to pretend it was someone else. Denial, denial, denial. No one has developed a DNA-esque test to prove the source of a flatulent faux-pas, so denial is best.

Certain DNA tests can help track ethnicity.

Yes I think you should go ahead and get the paternity test. My brother went through the same thing for nearly 5 years and it came out not being his baby. It seems to me that she doesn't know if it's his or not. Good luck.

i think that anytime you do anything you should have both your fingerprint and DNA recorded, the bigger the database the larger chance of criminals being caught. even for little things like traffic tickets - at least that way there is a real database. The only people who can be caught are those whose DNA is already on record; or the police have to go and get the DNA. That would bring in the whole: Do they really need to take my DNA for a parking ticket but  the general populace should have nothing to fear - unless they are planning to do something wrong. It would just make us safer and better able to put the right people behind bars.

They have to do this because only certain parts of DNA are used to ID people. And so much of DNA is similar they prove identity with statistics. So the likelihood of the DNA being the specific person is 1 in 20000 and that linked with other evidence is often more than enough to prove guilt or whatever. There is a law of probability and when things are put together it is very reliable.\n\nOk I am adding on in response to your question. I have consulted a textbook and think that the test described above is pretty conclusive. The textbook describes running a gel with the DNA fragments on it. They space out and are very obviously different to each other and are compared to the original. (see example of gel here http://gallery.hd.org/_c/natural-science/_more1999/_more05/DNA-genetic-fingerprinting-dark-bands-in-gel-are-almost-unique-for-a-given-individual-tweaked-1-AJHD.jpg.html) . Another thing mentioned in my textbook is taking samples from commnunities to compare blood samples. So one could suggest that they took samples of blood from 20000 people in the neighbourhood and only the one persons blood dna fingerprint matched up.

No possible way of knowing that since nobody (I am quite sure) has gone back and tried to determine whether the particular DNA evidence used in all those cases was "accurate" or "inaccurate."  In general, however, it is my belief that when performed properly and correctly used, DNA evidence is virtually infallible.

Guilty! And, yeah, I've studied the case for over a week, so I'm not just saying this randomly. What stuck in my mind the most was they had his DNA! And you know what one of the jury members said? He thought that anyone could have the same DNA... So that was not a determining factor for him... That should really tell you that you want way more than just one college grad. in the jury when you're being prosecuted. There was so much more ridiculous stuff happening in that case! Like the Bronco chase, the money the passports, the note! And why wasn't it admitted? Cause some retards at the gas station it got towed to decided to take pics in it! So, the evidence was contaminated, and I agree it may have been, but imagine all the evidence that was there and was not used for some reason. The racist cop ploy... Man, some of the best lawyers in US couldn't believe when the prosecution lost that case. I guess you can't really stand a chance against the dream team.

No. Readers Digest or National Geographic, not sure which one has asked for volunteers to send in swab for genetic mapping. Many people have responded. It is only a matter of time now as it is before we all know where in the world we originated from. Discrimination occurs all too frequently for other reasons, why add one more? Anyway environment has just as much to due with genes mutating and causing cancer. Look at articles on "Chernobyl" 10 years after.
