Make DNA paternity testing mandatory prior to registration on birth certificate

Petition Details

To stop misattributed paternity, the Government should introduce free, mandatory paternity tests prior to the registration of paternity on birth certificates.

Additional Information

According to research around 1 in 50 fathers in the UK could be raising a child that they think is biologically their own but is not. The long term heartache for the adult & more importantly the child when this is discovered is long term and could have been limited if identified at birth.

DNA is tested in school experiments, ancestry, medical examinations, treatments & surprise findings will be made. Testing at birth would eliminate these problems later.
