What's the problem? One wants to be the father. The other doesn't. Maybe the woman couldn't tell the two apart.
twice the lawyers to destroy even more of decent life ... and everyone'smoney.
This entire story - as are all that involve immorality, greed, corruption - all involve areound the lawyers who collect the majority of any monies involved.
Ever notice that?
You couldn't convict someone just because he was one of two possible offenders. The law requires more than that.
Easy way to tell...which did she sleep with first? Odds are, the first one she slept with is the daddy, since his little swimmers had a, er, head start. :)
Sounds like an episode of "Jerry Springer" (not that I watch it!!!! ;o) )
Solomon would have decided for the man who wants to be the father...!
It sure does...lol.
Both should pay no questions left.

She will change her story as soon as she figures it out. Reminds me of the old movie Double Indemnity.
Gee, it was really nice of the brothers to
share! Unfotunately it is the child who loses
out by never knowing who his real father is.
How sad.
Since they are identical, how does she know that
she had sex with both of them?
Criminal law would work as you have indicated, but I wonder if the burden of proof in Civil law (preponderence of evidence) might work differently here. Just a thought.
She's probably trying to figure out which has the most money.
We do not however need an advanced degree to be able to state conclusively what the mother is.
It's not so simple. The early ones might have swum and died before ovulation, and the later swimmers were rewarded with the prize. Well, one of them anyway.
This brings up an interesting scenario. Suppose these two conspired to commit a crime...murder...whatever. Both could claim innocence and blaim the other. There would be no way for DNA evidence to convict them. Of course, other evidence might be available. The thought just crossed my mind, and thought I'd share.
> ... paternity suit that not even DNA testing can solve.
For anyone tallying potential issues with human cloning.
You're quite right, of course. Alas, I have been smacked down for being a smart aleck.. :) That's what I get for trying to be cute instead of accurate. Wonder if I can take Rather's job at CBS....lol.
