I was thinking the same thing Jen. There are men who will do anything to shirk their responsibility for their children. Some even disappear, running away to a new life.
A national DNA registration bank and an iron clad law to enforce the support is required.
I tend to agree, but beware... the collecting of DNA data has a very real potential dark side. Unless there is a gigantic firewall protecting such information, I can imagine a Big Brother 1984-style nefarious use of that very personal information. Insurance companies could deny health insurance for preexisting conditions, car insurance could be denied for those with a genetic predisposition to epilepsy, etc. The ACLU would be all over this.

We need a national DNA registration bank for paternity testing, and ironclad law to enforce support.

The national DNA registration bank would also facilitate the law's search for rapists--a very good thing!
If ever they get prosecuted
