i By Blood Teste
John Doe has been named
by Susie Smith as being the
father of her child. He denies
the fact. In a criminal pro
ceeding may he demand that
a blood grouping test be per
| formed on himself, the moth
er and the child for the pur
pose of proving that he is not
the father of the child?
Yes. A North Carolina
statute expressly so provides.
If the defendant makes
such a request by a proper
•motion in the ease, the trial
judge must direct and order
that the defendant, the moth
er and the child shall submit
to a blood grouping test. The
North Carolina statute says:
"The results of such blood
grouping tests shall be ad
mitted in evidence when of
fered by a duly licensed phy
sician or other qualified
person.”
Blood grouping tests have
also been extended to civil
peases in which evidence of
paternity is relevant. In civil
cases, either the plaintiff or
the defendant may make the
request.
The judge, in his discre
i tion, may require the per
f son requesting the blood
grouping tests to pay the cost
thereof.
How accurate are the blood
grouping tests?
Serological blood tests,
sometimes referred to as
blood-grouping or blood-typ
ing tests, have generally
been accepted as scientifically
accurate. As of the present
time, there are several meth
ods or theories used for clas
sifying a person’s blood.
According to the Land
steiner-Berastein theory there
are four general types of
blood: O, A, B and AB. Ap
proximately 45 per cent of
the people belong to group O,
► 42 per cent to group A, 10 per
cent to group B and 3 per
cent to group AB|
Medical authorities have
shown that blood types are
handed down from parents to
offspring in accordance with
the Mendelian law of inherit
ance. A type of blood can
not appear in a child which
was not present in at least
one of its parents.

having the same blood group
cannot be in one of the other
blood groups, but if the two
1 parents have different blood
i grouping, then a different
situation arises.
Blood grouping tests can be
used scientifically to prove
only nonpaternity; they can
never be used scientifically to
affirmatively prove parent
age. For instance, if the child
has blood O, and both the
mother and the putative fath
er have blood O, there is no
evidence that the putative
father is really the father,
because 45 per cent of the

population have the same
blood. But if the child has
blood A and both the mother
and the putative father have
blood O, then this is evidence
sufficient to exclude the par
enthood of the alleged father,
because a combination of two
persons with blood O cannot
produce a child with group A
Stated differently, one can
not prove affirmatively by a
blood grouping test that a
man is the father of a par
ticular child, but in certain
instances it is possible to
prove that a man is not the
father of the child.
