DNA analysis can establish paternity beyond any shadow of a doubt
Actually I read an article recently about uman chimera's that
basically means the above is false. In one instance DNA indicated
that a mother was not the mother of two of her children .... even
though she was!!
Further testing revealed that her body cells were made from
two separately fertilised eggs that had fused very early
in development -- resulting in a single individual but with
two different sets of nuclear DNA.
Further analysis revealed the truth of the situation, but
standard paternity tests can give false negatives.
Oh --- hang on -- I re-read what you said and agree.
If the test is positive it is beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Sorry about that -- I'll leave the rest though cause
I think it's interesting.
