The Canadian Children’s Rights Council advocates for mandatory government paid paternity testing as early as technologically practical which compliments the current mandatory genetic disease testing of newborn babies.
A Texas man is battling a court order that mandates he must pay tens of thousands in child support for a child whom he did not biologically father and whom he met only once. In 2003, a child suppor…
Birthday-Mates.com is a social network that connects people all over the world who share the same birthday, allows them to form new friendships and relationships, have joint birthday celebrations, and more.
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.
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?
Share the same birthday? It’s no coincidence, it’s maths
Joseph Mazur is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Marlboro College in Vermont has published a new book aims to demystify everyday coincidences through simple probability.
Surprised some of the more archaic religions don’t make having kids compulsory. After all, the game is to simply outnumber the competition rather than win the argument and find eternal bliss.
“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?”
How religion is coming to terms with modern fertility methods
hmm, not wanting kids is one thing. Banning or bullying others into not having them is something else. This is an interesting idea, not sure how it will catch on if the gene for it dies with those suffering from such thoughts.
Adherents view life not as a gift and a miracle, but a harm and an imposition. And their notion that having children may be a bad idea seems to be gaining mainstream popularity
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.
The world relative to its human population is quite large. It is 123 billion acres in size, of which 37 billion acres are land. This means that there are
“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.”
Want to start a self-sufficient homestead? Find out how many acres of land you really need to achieve self-sufficiency and supply your own food and power.
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.
Ten Things That Would Happen If We Shared the Value of Land, by Martin Adams | Progress.org
Blimey, hold on to your hat – it’s really been patented.

A mandatory DNA testing law will likely face fierce opposition from privacy proponents.

A paternity test at birth could also help to protect an individual’s right to know their biological parents.
A few jurisdictions have tried passing mandatory DNA testing laws at birth, though there’s nothing concrete.

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

Lol, sounds perfect for ungrateful gits who blame overpopulation for not liking humanity.

….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.
Solved in the UK – Great Idea. Hope this business enjoys ongoing success.
