DIY daddy

An Italian businessman has sparked controversy by selling do-it-yourself paternity testing kits, with which men can check their children's DNA without telling their wives.
The kit is on sale for 700Euros (£470:$840)and allows suspicious fathers to take a mouth swab from their child, and send it along with their own swab to a laboratory for genetic analysis. The results are posted or emailed back a week later.

The ethical implications of this are still being debated in Italy, and restrictions on their sale are few. France on the other hand, has banned the kits, amid concerns about potential invasions of privacy. Belgium imposes strict regulations, obliging both parents to consent to the test.

(As an aside, I noticed my (British) keyboard doesn't have a Euro symbol key. Do newer keyboards come with these in place?)
