Talk:DNA paternity testing

message: "Meta-analysis of a wide variety of genetic studies appears to show that the rates of non-paternity in the general population are on the order of 4% to over 30%, depending on the social group involved. [citation needed]"
Non paternity??  What does that mean?  No father, like Jesus??  This needs an explanation.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.232.247.173 (talk • contribs) .
:Since paternity is the state of being a father, I would guess that non-paternity is the state of not being a father, so the statistic would refer to people who are not fathers.  At least that's how it seems to me. --24.117.122.78 13:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I agree the name "parental testing" is not the best choice. DNA Parentage Testing to cover both maternity and paternity tests is a much better choice and recognized by the DNA parentage testing regulating body AABB, or family relationship testing, which covers a wider range of DNA tests to determine biological relationships. Since we are talking about mostly testing using DNA technology, adding DNA in the name is not a bad idea either. Can someone change the name to help users find this page more relevant to their search?Universalgenetics (talk) 15:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the name parentage test would be much better - it gets a lot more hits on Google. 'Parental test' could refer to any test parents take. Richard001 (talk) 01:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this article should state approximately how much this type of testing costs to get results in the standard amount of time.  It should also state much it costs to get the results in the minimum amount of time.  The minimum and standard time to get results should be stated.

message: I am an odd case!  I have died a number of Times and as such I have memories of even when I was months of age because my Spirit/Soul is older than the body!  I can Recall being kidnapped from Germany in about 1961 or 1962 or 1963 in one of my Lives.  I can also Recall being kidnapped "twice" from the doorstep of my GrandMother's Home when I was about two to three months of age by a family that is deep into Diplomacy for the U.S.A.  This family once had me come by to their Matriarch for a look see as they had claimed that two children had been "exchanged" or "mixed up" at the doctor's office where the children had been born or borne or evaluated for good health; a woman took it into her own hands and exchanged babies when I was set out on the doorsteps to clear my lungs and aid in health (according to my GrandMother) during a snowstorm and bitterly cold weather; the Matriarch decided that I was not a Child/Kid of their clan, although one of theirs appears to be of one of my Dads.  My medical record actually shows a "name change" by my now deceased doctor, whether this would qualify as a "legal" name change or not, I do not know; all I know is that I had died at least one Time and therefore am not the same individual as the birth record--maybe the doctor noticed that fact due the kind/manner/type/extent of circumcision, birthmark, tatoos, etc. . ..
Well anyway, the DoD reports my Dad's bloodgroup as O+ and I would swear that it used to say O- (this all could be a lie, as the military wanted that their soldiers' blood not be used for medical aide if they were to become prsoners of war, and that it make the enemy deathly ill--maybe all dogtags say O group bloods???!!!).  My Mother's blood, according to her own statement, is B+.  My bloodtype is A+; and according to the statements on the internet that I have found, I am not a by-product of those two individuals.  What am I to do, as I was kidnapped from Germany in one Life and in another, I may have been Taken from Egypt!!!  Realizing that Albert Einstein was kidnapped during WWII, one must wonder how often the U.S.A. kidnaps People/Children!!!Gnostics (talk) 19:06, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Odd Case

message: This page name doesn't make sense. It sounds like a PG rating calling for "parental guidance", not a paternity test. I suggest a page rename to Paternity test or DNA paternity test. Yoninah (talk) 07:33, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This is so obviously a grammatical mistake that I boldly went ahead and moved the page to DNA paternity testing. Interestingly, dozens of the piped links on other pages linked to the erroneous page title, followed by "paternity testing". Yoninah (talk) 11:05, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

message: "This is partially due to the official desire to "preserve the peace" within French families, with the French government citing psychologists who state that fatherhood is determined by society, rather than biology"
Far be it for me to doubt the sincerity of the Masonic French Republic's "concern for the peace of the family", but is the nonsense about "psychologists" really true? We need some better sources? Psychology is a pseudo-science, surely it isn't taken that seriously in France to the extent that random quaks can define laws? Claíomh Solais (talk) 00:32, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
