Comment on Anon takes a DNA test
TootSweet@lemmy.world 1 week agoAncestryDNA would absolutely give conclusive proof of either close blood relationship or lack thereof. In practice, it’s just as good as a paternity test.
The only caveats I can think of are:
- Both parent and (potential) child would have to get the test.
- I guess if AncestryDNA just completely messed up and represented some random other person’s DNA as the parent’s or child’s, that would give false negatives.
- Chimerism.
- AncestryDNA might not be admissable in court.
And of those, the first three are just as applicable to paternity tests as they are to AncestryDNA.

I actually missed the part where anon said they got the test for them and their parents.
