responsibility? Do you think that the natural father will just jump up to love, protect and foster the child?
Again it is a false dichotomy. Just b/c one putative father gets out of responsibility does not mean the real father steps into it. Proving one is not the father does not prove who the father is. In many cases the child will have no "paying" father and no real father in its life.
To me it is as much a privacy issue as anything. How would you feel if it was the federal government taking DNA samples without consent and storing people's biological information? The same privacy rights are implicated regardless of who the taker is. I'm so sick of people not recognizing that children have rights too.
