Abstract:
There is no defined legislation on paternity testing in present China,thus the testing status quo is in a mess to some extent.Together with other unfavorable factors including the unstable marital status in modern society,increasing extramarital sexual behaviors and illegitimate children,and the ever-heated testing competition among testing institutes driven by the economic interests and so forth,the paternity testing is on a sharp rise these years,which leads to a increasing chaos in paternity testing field.Social ethical crisis is partially responsible for the current problem,thus related ethical issues to paternity testing are discussed in this article.
