You might joke about it, but in many parts of the world not only is this the law, doing a paternity test is strictly prohibited and can be punished severely.

I can't even begin to fathom how a paternity test would be strictly prohibited anywhere in the world. My brain hurts, it's like you just told me 2 + 3 = 7.

I know right?

Read this and weep: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/french-men-s-insecurity-over-paternity-of-offspring-creating-a-society-of-doubt-1.773569

French men are smuggling samples to other countries to get the results covertly. If the customs agents catch the samples or the results, they can get fined 15,000 Euros.

This is where the current road to the left leads. Waypoints on the way to hell.
