  2. A paternity test at birth could also help to protect an individual’s right to know their biological parents.

  3. A few jurisdictions have tried passing mandatory DNA testing laws at birth, though there’s nothing concrete.

  4. This needs to happen everywhere; there are too many cases of paternity fraud!

  5. Sounds interesting. A Facebook app could link in with a site like the one I am linking to, which would inform others who just had a baby the same day and time as you did. Then put and keep you in touch via the app. Probably wouldn’t be too difficult for a decent app developer either.

  6. in a group of 23 people, you will have a 50% chance of sharing a birthday with them. Though this requires a lot more people if including your birth year also. Not sure why the baby’s date would be more significant than some other random people from elsewhere. Would be interesting if sociologists could predict the eventual standing of kids born in different countries, on the same date though – would it be any closer than astrological predictions?

  7. “Technology is a great thing, but technology does change us,” said the Rev. Michael J.K. Fuller, executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “At some point, we need to ask — how much is it changing us, and is that a good thing?”

  9. Not all countries allow it’s inhabitants to own land, nevermind getting it for free. I fear most people wouldn’t know what to do with their few acres and it would be wasted. Making human progress difficult. It could actually end civilisation if we demanded to share everything. Think on.

  10. “ven though a lot of those sources put the number at a lot less, the general consensus is that you really need at least 5 acres of land per person to be self-sufficient. And that’s assuming you have quality land, adequate rainfall, and a long growing season.”

  11. “Subtracting this uninhabitable 57% (32,665,981 mi2) from the total land area leaves 24,642,757 square miles or 15.77 billion acres of habitable land. Divide this figure by the current human population of 7 billion (that’s 7,000 million people) and you get 2.3 acres (about one hectare) per person.” according to http://www.zo.utexas.edu/courses/Thoc/land.html#:~:text=Subtracting%20this%20uninhabitable%2057%25%20(32%2C665%2C981,about%20one%20hectare)%20per%20person.

  12. Sounds pretty socialistic but according to this the value we would all get would be immense. Levelling the land, or at least the spare and commonly owned land may be a good thing once in a while.

  13. Blimey, hold on to your hat – it’s really been patented.

    “It is the primary purpose of the present invention to provide an apparatus which will assist the under-equipped woman by creating a gentle, evenly distributed, properly directed, precision-controlled force, that acts in unison with and supplements her own efforts.”

  14. ….dream on AirTots 57 quid to borrow a baby bath and stand for 4 weeks. No wonder folk just buy them or go elsewhere to hire.
