Ummmmmm, in the 1950's this law would have made sense... Today? It's nuts.

"The Law is a ass"...
The irony today is that a person can be sent to the execution chamber on the basis of DNA evidence, but it cannot be used justly to satisfy a simple injustice foisted on thousands of innocent men.

Antiquated?
A monumental understatement!

In time, DNA paternity tests will be _routinely_ administered for _every_ birth.

For those who [for whatever reason] do not wish to know the results of such tests, there will be "non-disclosure" provisions. But the tests will still be administered as a matter of course, and the results will be stored in a secure archive, for future references, if necessary.
