85: Replay: Paternity - Test Issues for Mums, Dads and Children

This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast.

Today we look back at my episode on paternity testing. This is apt as El Salvador has just introduced paternity testing for all babies born there.

The episode originally aired as episode 45 on 12/5/2024 and here are the show notes from that episode:

In the light of a recent news story, I look at paternity testing and whether dads should be able to get a test outside of court proceedings.

Some people might see this as an issue for men but it is wider. I discuss how testing has issues for mums, dads and children, including how paternity tests can improve health outcomes for children.
