Reporter investigation

298 bucks can do DNA paternity tests.

A loss to make a yell? Does the price itself have moisture?

DNA paternity test in the way of online group sales promotion, Murphy DNA paternity test really so fire? and the accreditation body "generous" give 10 percent discount, is they "make a profit at a loss," or DNA paternity test price too much water, profit too high? It is understood that Chengdu currently has huaxi Medical Forensic Identification Center in Sichuan, southwest Sichuan Forensic Expertise Center, the Sichuan gene forensic expert, Sichuan Fossent forensic expertise, and other institutions with forensics DNA paternity test qualifications. Yesterday, Chengdu Business newspaper reporter visited these institutions ...

The volume of business is increasing

Mostly commissioned by individuals.

In Chengdu, the first society to engage in DNA paternity identification is the West China Medical Forensic Identification Center. The accreditation Center is based on the Sichuan Forensic Science department as a technical support. Li Yingbi, a professor at the accreditation Center, said the business of DNA paternity testing in the centre had increased by about 10% per cent over the past 10 years. "Before 1993, there were only a few hundreds of paternity cases each year, and mostly in criminal cases." Only last year, the DNA paternity test at the center was more than 1000. Among them, paternity identification accounted for the vast majority, more than 90%.

"In recent years, our DNA paternity test has increased in volume each year, with an annual increase of about 20%~35%." "Southwest Sichuan Judicial Expertise Center Office Director Song Ping said last year, the identification center of DNA paternity Test in nearly thousands of cases, most of them are commissioned by individuals, by procuratorial and other departments commissioned less than 5% of the business.

In addition, the Fossent in Sichuan province last November only to obtain forensic medical evidence category of judicial expertise, no data statistics.

Professor Li Yingbi that the reason for this situation, on the one hand, from civil cases, family disputes and property division often need to confirm the relationship between parents, the choice of DNA paternity identification more and more people. On the other hand, the cost of DNA paternity test is lower (now the technology platform is more efficient, but the labor costs are not obvious), and the people's economic capacity is relatively increased.

Privacy-focused

Customers can do it by anonymous aliases.

"A pregnant girl, in order to confirm the father of the unborn fetus, brought a man to sample the morning and another in the afternoon ..." some practitioners said that in recent years to do prenatal DNA identification has increased, "every week." Because DNA paternity test may involve a variety of factors, clients are particularly concerned about privacy. Therefore, each appraisal organization pays special attention to protects the customer privacy, and almost all through the network carries on some promotion.

"We will ask the client for the purpose of identifying the results before accepting the commission of a personal DNA paternity test," he said. "Each accreditation body said that if the result is used for judicial access, it must be recognized and strictly in accordance with the forensic process operation, but if the client is only a result of their own, can be anonymous or use aliases according to their requirements, or even the client does not have to personally go to the accreditation body, mail the sample The accreditation body is identified by the case number and is "responsible only for the sample".

This means that if a father wants to prove his relationship with his child, he can get results by collecting common samples of himself and his children, such as blood and hair follicles, and sending them anonymously to the accreditation body. However, while this approach facilitates the protection of the privacy of customers, the results are "for reference only" and cannot be used directly as judicial evidence.

The cost is down.

"Market price" about 3000 yuan

Is the price of $298 a loss? Other agencies agree that this can only be done to publicize the interim measures, "this price is difficult to recover costs," the current market price of 3000 yuan. But Zhang Yi, an associate professor at the West China Medical Forensics Center in Sichuan province, said that as market competition intensified, the cost of DNA paternity testing had decreased a lot in recent years. "The technology platform is gradually simplified and the accreditation body has increased." "He even said that a high school student training for one months, can be a simple operation."

Controversial

Do or not?

Experts: Everyone should weigh their own

Husband worried wife cheating, secretly do paternity identification; children suspected that they are not their parents, and parents do DNA paternity test ... Chengdu newspaper reporter in the interview learned that in many DNA paternity test cases, there are some of the family carrying out the identification. For DNA paternity test, there are netizens skeptical: the original peaceful family, may be due to a single identification and rupture. Some people think that DNA paternity testing is gradually popular, scientific and technological progress, but also reflects the social integrity of the retrogression, the loss of trust between people.

Huaxi Medical Forensic Identification Center in Sichuan province Zhang Yi said that each client should have their own careful consideration before choosing DNA paternity test, but the appraisal Center only does the technique, does not provide the psychological service. The Song Ping of southwest Sichuan Judicial Expertise Center believes that the loss of trust should not be blamed on DNA paternity test. "In the past there was suspicion in people's minds, but there was no scientific means to prove it, which often led to suspicion." Suspicion does not solve the problem, she says, but it can be concluded in a scientific way. "Everyone himself should have a trade-off. "It is understood that in the DNA paternity test case, there is almost certainly the result is positive, eventually proved to be biological."
