Petition Compulsory DNA test at birth

More details

After catching an episode of Jeremy Kyle and seeing and hearing yet another child and father being degraded on TV by having a DNA test. to see if they were related.

I would like the government to step in and make it compulsory for a child to have a DNA test at birth and give the child the knowledge of who their fathers are and vice versa

The DNA sample should be destroyed and other further information should be taken. The result should be entered on a child's birth certificate.

I am a mother and I believe children and men need to know who they are related too. It will takes away doubt and makes for a more confident, honest society, for children to grow up in.
