The Use Of DNA In Paternity Cases : 5 pages in length.
Technological advances now enable men to be identified as the
father in a paternity case through the means of DNA
fingerprinting. This scientific breakthrough has been
instrumental in linking otherwise unidentifiable parties by
matching the child's DNA to the father's in order to establish
positive relation. History has demonstrated that the methods
once utilized to extract paternal connection have been less than
one hundred percent successful; with the implementation of
DNA fingerprinting in paternity tests, the margin for error has
all but been eliminated. The writer discusses DNA testing in
relation to paternity cases. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
