[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 605185, member: 14557"] I think it is absurd man can be held responsible of the child that has been born from a crime committed against a man (or boy.) Molestation, rape etc. should be a reason for not having any responsibilities towards a child maybe resulting on those. Even though I'm usually for child's rights, but it simply wouldn't be reasonable that for example a boy would be molested and when he grows adult, he would face huge child support debts to the person who molested him. But other than that, if a man doesn't want to be a dad, he better take care of contraception - and understand also that may fail. I have pressed it to my sons that every time they have sex, they take a risk of becoming a father. They can limit a risk by using condoms and being careful with them. And if they are in committed relationship, it is reasonable to trust your spouse with other contraceptive methods you have decided to use together. But still there is always a risk and big thing is to consider with whom to open the zipper. When it comes to legal paternity of a husband, well that is kind of the original purpose of the marriage. The legal verification of paternity, through the ages biological and legal and social paternity have not always meant the same and remarkable percentage of people are not biological children of their dads. I really don't see a change in that either in future. Many dads don't know they are not biological fathers, some suspect and some do know, but I very much doubt that married couples would be too enthusiast if government would start to demand paternity tests for their kids (and I doubt neither governments or people themselves would want to pay the bill.)
