Happy thought for the day, fellas (NOT!)
1 in 25 men in dark as they raise others' children - One father in 25 could unknowingly be bringing up a child who is not his own, says new research that suggests a rise in genetic testing has opened a Pandora's box of sexual secrets and lies.
Genetic testing for diseases in families is growing and can reveal a child's real paternity, leaving doctors to decide how much to disclose to the family. ...
Comment: Yikes! While women have more excuses for it, it's been my experience that they are on the whole almost as unreliable as men in terms of their "fidelity". Unfortunately what cannot be said in their favour, is that (again, in my limited experience) where as men can easily be polyamorous and usually maintain affection for for their wife while getting thrills from a trist on the side, when women "cheat" it is very often a judgement upon the man they're two-timing.
This type of infidelity is particularly harsh though... while there is definately a side of me which would "want to know" for principle's sake were I to be the victim of such a swindle, OTOH I'm not sure if I could handle such knowledge. Or better put, I don't know if the woman who so betrayed me could survive me having such knowledge (yes, I know that's ugly, but it's the truth... and one which the article gets into as a real dillema for physicians who stumble upon this while doing genetic testing for some other reason.)
