DIY Paternity tests. But is it a good thing? Now, in 30 states across the US, you can walk into the drugstore, plunk down thirty bucks*, and walk away with a DIY paternity test that would answer this important question.

For those who had a situation where they are unsure, living with the uncertainty can be hard. But before running out and buying a kit - try to understand the impact to knowing the results. Many relationships can be broken. Other concerns include that fact that this is uncontrolled - so samples can be taken without the person’s knowledge (I am thinking potential lawsuit here…), and as well a child could be tested without one of the parents knowledge.

I personally have not in this situation, so I can’t begin to imagine what I would do. But I do know that in any case, this is not something to be taken lightly, and I fear that having these tests available at a cheap cost in an uncontrolled environment seems like a recipe for disaster.

Now the question burning in everyone’s minds - will this put Jerry, Montel and Maury out of business?

* there is a $120 lab processing fee, bringing the total cost to about $150.
