    • Abstract:
      The article discusses privacy issues in infidelity and paternity testings. In Great Britain, such tests are already illegal. But though some U.S. states have passed laws that arguably might outlaw aspects of infidelity or discreet paternity testing, extensive enquiries by "New Scientist" have uncovered no evidence that they have been used against firms running these tests. Genetic Testing Laboratories and Test Infidelity test DNA sequences called short tandem repeats for identifying individuals or determining whether two people are related.
