Paternity tests, right next to the candy aisle

Two drugstores, Rite-Aid and Meijer drugstores now carry a home DNA paternity test, which can be purchased over the counter. This is sure to cut into Maury Povich’s bookings, as people will be able to save themselves embarrassment, and test multiple partners if needed, to find the daddy.

The kit sold by Identigene, can be purchased over the Internet or in stores and retails nationally for $29.99 (plus an additional $119 lab fee--cheek swab specimens collected from the alleged father and child). This is a good thing, like home pregnancy tests, and the results should be verified through a reputable testing lab. I can also see people testing children without the “other” parent’s consent or knowledge….hhhmmm
