Jeaaa.. finally a discussion without winners.. lets go for it ....

Whataboutism aside, humanity should be capable of fixing more than one problem at a time to survive. When you cannot trust your partner, the relationship has a problem. Clarifying fatherhood does not do any harm to anyone; rather, it helps the father accept the facts once they are proven, regardless of the outcome. Doing such a test right after birth, however, is the wrong move. Legislation must be changed in a way that ensures:

1.) The child does not fear additional negative consequences.

2.) The people responsible are also held accountable.

There is no fundamental requirement for a test directly after birth where the mother is highly vulnerable. Biological fatherhoods do not change after birth.

Is this a big issue? I can only speak about how it’s handled in Germany—and no, it is not.
