- W2260998069 abstract "This paper reports the preliminary findings of a qualitative investigation into the experience of genetic paternity testing. It provides a typology of the main situations where paternity is contested through the use of genetic testing; that is, why and to whom paternity testing matters. Paternity has generally been accepted as a taken for granted state that defined the relationship between a child born within an established partnership and the male partner. The development of a cheap, efficient and commercially available genetic test for accurately determining biological paternity changed this reliance on presumed paternity. Initially a tool of the State to enforce paternal responsibility, it has more recently become a facilitative mechanism for men to know with absolute certainty about their paternity or non-paternity. The main situations in which testing is used involve men and women caught up in relationship breakdown and contestation over paternity and Child Support. Paternity testing is sought either by the man to terminate parental responsibility or by the woman to ensure it. These complex situations are reported from the perspective of both men and women. The paper then discusses some of the key social issues regarding the use of this new technology and argues that its availability and use matters to all of us. The DNA paternity test is a powerful technology that offers definitive, clear cut findings. But, in reality, its human impact rarely reflects the precision and decisiveness the technology promises. In other words, while the technology itself can be said to be neutral, the human ends to which it is put is what gives it intention and purpose (Wajcman 2004). The meaning humans attach to what the technology reveals (the results of the test), the significance they assign to it and what they do about it determine the human consequences. The test has the capacity to change forever the way people relate to each other, in essence to 'change the terms in which social, political and economic relations are played out' (2004:8-9)." @default.
