Weekend Edition: Fathers Won’t Like These Odds
Readily available DNA tests are revealing an interesting and possibly disturbing factoid: 1 in 25 men are bringing up children they mistakenly believe are their own.
A study by scientists from Liverpool John Moores University concludes that 4 percent of all men are unwittingly bringing up a child they have not fathered.
Even more disturbing, of the men who demand a paternity test because they suspect infidelity, 25 percent have their suspicions confirmed.
This might be one of those cases where we are all better off not knowing.

My daughter looks exactly like me in facial features, so she is mine, or the SOB who fathered her looked exactly like me.
