If parenting is purely a matter of choice, i.e., the decision on whether or not to have abortion is a woman's choice, and same sex parents can choose to be parents with anonymous biological parents donating sperm, eggs and adoption babies, why aren't fathers offered information about the newborns who are supposedly theirs?

Quote:
| It is, Smith says … a double standard that allows mothers and caseworkers to use DNA to prove paternity but prohibits men from using that same evidence to escape its obligations. But child-welfare experts counter that a child shouldn't be punished by losing the only father she has ever known — or the financial security he offers — just because he's upset that she doesn't share his genes. … Child-welfare advocates say that making biology the sole determinant of paternity in cases like Smith's puts the nonbiological father's interest above the child's. … 'Is it my kid?' is irrationally important to the cuckolded husband," says Carol McCarthy … of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. … Why is it that we imbue genetic relationships with a potency that borders on magic? - |
