Let's Just Leave That Thing a Secret: Man Says When Asked if He Would Like to Run DNA Test For His Children

• A man has said it is better to let the sleeping dogs lie instead of going to run a DNA test for family members
• The man was reacting to a poll put up on Twitter by Legit.ng in which he said DNA should be left to be a secret in the family
• But the majority of those who voted in the poll said all fathers should run DNA tests so as to determine the paternity of their children

Legit.ng recently put up a poll on Twitter in which it sought the opinions of members of the public on the DNA debate. DNA is the abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic acid and its aim is to determine if one is truly the parent of a child.

The majority of those who voted in the poll said all fathers should run DNA tests. An analysis of the votes shows that 69.4% are of the opinion that all fathers should run DNA tests while 11.7% are against it. On the other hand, 18.4% are undecided.
