If there is any question in the mother’s mind of who the father is, get a paternity test as soon as possible to ensure that the child has a More

The Labour Party’s total debts now stand at £16.6 million

Despite a record number of donations in the run-up to the general elections, Labour currently has the highest debt of any of the major British political parties, at around £10 million. The level of debt within Labour is now so severe that John Prescott, who was the party’s former deputy minister, warned that the party could risk facing bankruptcy unless it made clear steps to reduce its spending on campaigns.

Sex education not good enough

In response to the article ‘Sex education not good enough’ I think it highlights an extremely important point that children are not receiving satisfactory education about sex. The article says that ‘lessons about sex, relationships and health are not good enough in 25% of schools in England.’ That’s one in four schools that do not meet the Ofsted standard. Think how many schools there are in your local area, would you like your child to be attending one of those More

Home Test Kit for DNA and Paternity Checking

Identigene is the brand name that Rite Aid has given to its new DNA paternity test kit. The aptness in the name is because it helps to establish the identity of the father of the child and does so by comparing genes. The speciality of the test kit though is that this test can be used at home.

DNA testing can save lives

Many years ago there was not a possibility of proving if you were linked to someone by DNA. You were just thought to be someone’s child if your mother said you were. Some men throughout history have probably thought they were not the father of a child they were raising but no way to prove otherwise. Now we do have DNA testing and it has helped society immensely.

Through the use of DNA testing children have now been able to More

British Hung Parliament: What Does It Really Mean For The Country

It’s a full time job! - Well that’s what our MPs keep telling us - some of them claim to be working up to 70 hours a week! So they deserve the salary (about £64,000 pa).

So the question has to be asked More
