Summary
A woman in the UK, who had relations with identical twin brothers, is in court to determine which twin is the father of her child. DNA tests cannot tell which twin fathered the child because their DNA is almost the same. The court has removed parental responsibility from the twin listed on the birth certificate until the issue can be resolved.
Key Facts
- A woman in the UK had relations with identical twins and became pregnant.
- Identical twins have almost identical DNA, making it hard to tell which twin is the father through DNA testing.
- The woman and one of the twins went to court after the other twin was listed as the father on the birth certificate.
- The family court initially refused to change the father's name on the birth certificate.
- The case went to the Court of Appeal in London, where judges said it's currently impossible to know which twin is the father.
- The court has removed parental responsibility from the twin on the birth certificate until further notice.
- Future scientific advances might make it possible to identify the father later on.
