This is an incredible tool that is just so under-used.
Imagine
the scenario:
An
18 year old son suddenly collapses. At the hospital it is discovered
that his kidneys are shutting down and he needs a transplant to save
his life. The wife's in a wheelchair and can't help. The father
immediately steps forward and offers one of his because he loves his
son. However, during the routine tissue typing, they discover that he
isn't the real father. It is revealed that 18 years and 9 months ago,
the husband and wife had an enormous row and she stormed out. She
went to a trucker's bar, got drunk and laid the first stranger she
could find as "revenge" against her husband. The next
morning, she awoke in a cheap hotel room all alone, realised that she
had been stupid, went home and patched it up with her husband but
never told him what happened because of her shame. She never even
thought that she might have become pregnant from that night. Now, in
order to save the "son" he loves, the husband has to track
down a complete stranger from almost 20 years ago and persuade him to
give up a kidney for a son he has never known. But the clock is
ticking and time is running out for the son
Isn't
that a storyline you'd like to see? What is the possible fall-out of
that - the newly discovered father wants more access to the son
afterwards; both the husband and the son have to deal with the wife's
infidelity and their new relationship; what if the husband finds out
that the story is a lie and that his wife has had a long list of
infidelities before and since?
Imagine
another scenario:
2
men argue over who is the father of a particular child. They do a
paternity test and neither is the father. In fact, the child doesn't
even belong to the mother. The child was accidentally swapped at the
hospital and they've raised someone else's child.
Here's
another:
This
one actually happened: during a routine DNA test, it was discovered
that the two children of a particular mother went related to her
although they were related to the husband and the children were taken
away. She had to go to court to get them back. Her defence team
proved that the children were related to their maternal grandmother
and so had to be related to their mother. It turned out that the
mother was two twins who had fused back to become one baby. So her
ovaries belonged to one twin and her saliva-producing cells to the
other, thus the confusion.
The
possibilities are endless.
