‘One in ten Britons don’t know who their real father is’

Some experts estimate four per cent of the population are not aware that the man they call ‘dad’ is not in fact their biological father. But Ian Cumming, Chief executive of Health Education England, said he thinks the figure could be as high as 10 per cent during a presentation at the Hay Literature and Arts Festival in Wales.

Around 220,000 tests are carried out by the NHS in England and Scotland each year, according to the Telegraph.

But the tests have been revealing some awkward family secrets and hospitals have been left with the ethical conundrum of what to do with them. Professor Cumming said: ‘Are we going to tell people: “That’s not your dad” – or are we going to keep that information to ourselves? I don’t think that would be acceptable ethically.’

But the possibility of detecting serious illnesses also leaves medical professionals wondering when would be the right time to inform them.

‘Do you tell their parents when they’re born? Do you tell them when they’re 12, 14, 16, 18?’

Cumming added: ‘Within the next 10 years we will probably be whole genome sequencing 100 per cent of the population who wish to be sequenced."

MGTOW.

Paternity/dna tests should just be mandatory for every birth.

UK Sluts?

Same as it ever was, all throughout human history.

“Who’s your Daddy??”

[ConservativeMind]

If true, then these mothers are sad examples of women, unless they were raped and they honestly don’t know.

If from sleeping with multiple men, they are, or were, sick.

[mewzilla]

Are we talking fathers or sperm donors?

I’ve seen great dads who aren’t always the biological father.

And biological fathers who are rotten dads.

[Segovia]

oh, the expression, “Momma’s baby, Daddy’s maybe” has been around a loooooog, loooooooooog time.

[Jonty30]

It will be higher than that, because close relatives to anybody sequenced will be sequenced by default.

[SkyDancer]

Or mother.

[ifinnegan]

Real father is mother’s husband.

The headline means biological father.

[leaning conservative]

Yes. And the father’s, NOT the taxpayers should take care of the child(ren).

[aquila48]

Imagine it’s higher here. I

[Caipirabob]

That makes them fully qualified to run as a democrat candidate for president in 2008!

Chances are very good that the father’s name is Mohammad, but as to who he actually is, well ... that’s a mystery.

[tired&retired]

Next they will be telling mothers that the baby they delivered is not theirs!

No, the Muslim men know who their children are. This is the product of Britain's dysfunctional white-trash "ASBO" culture that Theodore Dalrymple has written about.

Biological father is important for medical reasons.
