Recommended Books on Paternity Testing
The need to establish who is the biological father of a child arises in many situations, some pleasant, and others less so. But whatever our reasons for undergoing such a test, we need to feel sure of what we are getting into and be certain that we are receiving the best treatment. This clear, no-nonsense book covers every aspect of the process, explaining what a DNA test is, and how accurate it is. Emotional and legal aspects of the process; marital disputes and immigration rights; and sibling, grandparent, and extended family testing are all covered as well. This book is a required reading for anyone interested in a fascinating field of science that can change the way we live for the better.
Genetic Ties and the Family brings together experts in history, law, ethics, philosophy, psychology, social work, and sociology to explore the tension between biological and social conceptions of parentage. The contributors consider the effect of DNA-based paternity testing on family relationships and discuss the ethical, legal, and social implications. These essays reflect the changing concepts of parenthood, along with social factors that heighten conflict, such as single-parent adoption, gay and lesbian parents, child support laws, and new reproductive technologies. Building on scholarship of the last quarter century -- including the latest developments in law and social science research -- this volume will inform the development of legislation regulating genetic testing and the use of test results in establishing parental rights.
