Should All Fathers Get DNA Tests For All Their Children?
Tonight on "It's Real Talk Radio", the topic of discussion is the infamous DNA Tests, or maybe we could just call this "Maury" lol. So what we're asking is: “Should all men get DNA Tests for all their kids?” Every last one, regardless if they're all by the same mom or different mothers?? If your answer is yes then should men really have to pay out of pocket for DNA Tests? Women don't need DNA Tests because they know what came out of them. Is it fair that women get the upper hand because of what they have to endure during 9 months of pregnancy, or is the system simply unfair and biased to favor women?
"Momma's Baby, Papa's Maybe" is a famous saying and in a lot of cases is actually true. DNA Testing has forever changed the game. Up until this technology existed, think about how many men and their families thought a child or children was theirs and passed them their last name?? The thought of how many generations of families this could have affected is mindboggling to say the least! There could have been tens of millions of children with the wrong genetic identity since the beginning of human existence! This is deep stuff!!!
On the flipside, imagine how many women were too ashamed and embarrassed to admit they were playing the field and afraid of the scrutiny they'd receive and imagine how many women were scared for their lives as history has shown us, in various countries, women are or were treated as inferiors to their male counterparts and would be punished severely if caught engaging in premarital sex or cheating on their husbands. Are we to really blame some of the women who may have bared children from someone other than their boyfriends, husbands or companions while facing these pressures?
Well tonight we're here to talk about it and give our uncensored views to the topic at hand so don't miss out!

About Family
Like the TV show, modern families come in all shapes and sizes. Many children are a product of divorce, are in touch with both their biological and adopted parents, have two moms or two dads (or both), or are being raised by their grandparents. No matter how atypical the face of today's family, the values stay the same: love and support. Moms and dads will find plenty of support in BlogTalkRadio's parenting shows, especially those about time-management topics that fit both stay-at-home and working parents: organizing kids' activity schedules, decluttering, reducing the workweek, managing stress, making quick meals and more. We've also got shows about friendship – you know, your family of choice rather than family of origin. Just remember: everyone's family seems dysfunctional in its own way. And family may irritate you, but more often than not, you can always count on family to pick you up from the airport.
