Uh Oh Ladies . . . In-Home Paternity Testing!
The test kit costs $29.99 (pounds 15) and includes a swab which is rubbed inside the subject’s mouth to collect a DNA sample.
“The saliva sample is then sent to a laboratory where, for a processing fee of $119, the test results are available within three to five business days.
Results can be sent back by post, email or online via a secure web service.
Those seeking conventional paternity tests say they face waiting lists of as long as six months.
The Identigene DNA Paternity Test Collection Kit is now on sale in 4,363 branches of Rite Aid chemists in 30 states and the District of Columbia.
“They are not on sale in New York because state law requires a court order for a paternity test.
TheStateOf . . .Paternity. Mama’s baby. Papa’s maybe. I know a dude who fathered a baby with a chick and she put it on another brotha. And I know a chick who put her baby on the dude with the higher income.
So what is Maury Povich going to talk about on his show now that his most frequent topic is now available in drug stores?
Maceo… Maury’s tests are free.. you can best believe folks aint paying $150 for a test.. if they can help it.
I see too many opportunites for error. I’m waiting for Dateline to test this… Then I’ll believe it works.
I sure do hope Maruy doesn’t leave though… I’ll miss the:
“He is yo baby!! He got five fingers… YOU got five fingers! I’m 3008% sure that he’s Daqual’s daddy!”
You are NOT the father!
Jimmy does the ‘i aint the daddy dance!’
Maceo,
I was thinking the same thing. Three cheers for modern science!
hmmmm did they provide the accuracy of the test?
I can see how this can be a good and bad thing. It can be a good thing where someone has had a baby out of wedlock and is no longer with the father. They may be able to come to an agreement of child support and visitation without the courts, but dna tests are expensive. A mom like me would want the DNA test so dad doesn’t stir up some foolishness later on when the baby’s old enough to know what’s going on.
i can also see some men doing this behind their wife/girlfriend’s back with or without any real cause to doubt the paternity.
King James,
turn the tv off! you clearly watch waaaaay too much Maury. lol
I was reading the article about this yesterday.
They said that these tests aren’t legal binding because there is a chain of custody issue. I hate to say it but there are going to be some killings after men find out that they have been decieved into believing that they are fathers.
But there are some states who don’t care who the biolgical daddy is but as long as a man is married to a woman at the time the child is born the husband is assumed to be the daddy and is financially responsible for the child. I think that Pennsylvania has a law like this.
O/T but speaking of Pennsylvania, Bob Casey Jr (son of the very popular late former governor) who is an anti-abortion Catholic ( PA is about 30% Catholic) just endorsed Obama.
It looks like another nail in Queen Hillary’s coffin *smile*
Maury has done 10,000 baby daddy shows, but the problem with America is Rev. Wright and Islamofascism. OK.
In many states, if you are married to a woman that has a child, you are the presumptive father. If you raise the kid for seven years, you’re on the hook for all 18.
I agree with Rod that there are gonna be some serious ass whoopins behind these tests.
On what you just said Big J, Rev. Wright and his family are purportedly getting death threats now. Sad business. Keep them on your hearts and minds if prayer isn’t your thing.
King James…I don’t think the $150 price tag will slow too many folks down. If you don’t believe the kid is yours, I imagine that you will find away to scramble up the money.
I playfully threaten my fiancee that I’ma take her on Maury’s show and be set free! KAJ, You are NOT the father!!!
Now I’ll threaten her with CVS…LOL
They say every man questions the paternity of his children, at least for a fleeting moment.
It’s a damned shame what some of these ladies or men are doing to their children.
Yall, $150 aint shit. That’s way less than a whole lotta things even poor people spend money on. These days, a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax is $60 or more. These tests will be flying off shelves.
That was me.
