These are such troubling cases to decide. As technology in such things as DNA becomes more advanced, the complexities of what should be done increase exponentially.
Paternity tests, stem cell research, cloning, organ donation.....all have potential to give us more options and choices, but each one allows wide ranges of decision making and opinion.

I fear the courts will see many more cases where they have to make awkward decisions about what's 'fair'. I am not sure the legislature can write laws that will adequately address both 'legal' and 'right'.

I suppose that in this case, the father's 'rights' will eventually be clarified, but whether it really will benefit the child is hard to predict.....sometimes too much information can be a burden.
