Default DNA tests...one in five men NOT the father

One in five doubting dads proved right by DNA tests

AT least one in five DNA tests sought by fathers doubting their paternity return a negative result, representing more than 1200 Australian men.
This is consistent with results overseas.

Why should fathers have their lives ruined by having to pay tens of thousands of dollars for someone else's children?"

It's a flawed sample. Notice the fine print: one in five DNA tests sought by fathers doubting their paternity are negative. That's actually not too bad. Means that 80% of fathers who doubt their paternity are just jealous, obsessive a-holes, and only 20% have their suspicions confirmed.

My guess is if you tested the population at large, you'd get an even smaller number. But we'll never know unless there's a randomized trial, because fathers who don't doubt their paternity tend not to get DNA tests.

IFF is dead on. Biased sample. This is only newsworthy to the extent that the vast majority of men who try to argue that the kid isn't theirs are wrong.
