The phrase “Who’s Your Daddy?” has become a sign of superiority in sports and other male-dominated activities, but guys may be asking this question of their offspring more frequently in the future. The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health published results of a study revealing that as many as 1 in 25 men may be unknowingly raising children who are not their own biologically. Experts say this type of information has huge implications, and could lead to an increase in DNA and genetic testing for paternity.
I don’t know about you, but this story surprised me a bit. 1 in 25 is a pretty large number when you consider the impact over a whole population. Hopefully we won’t have genetic testing run rampant in inappropriate situations. Can you imagine the impact on a child to find out that their parents are trying to figure out who is responsible for him/her?
