Thicker than blood (VI) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The forensic importance of DNA has allowed this acronym to escape from the laboratory onto practically every street in the world, to the consternation of rapists and other such miscreants everywhere. Perhaps interesting but certainly more important is when the word ‘test’ is attached to it when it is called upon to settle issues of contestable paternity. Blood tests were once resorted to, to settle such disputes in what can now be regarded as antediluvian times but the results of such tests were
