Is her moral failure worse than theirs? No. Only she can identify him or them, independent of whose DNA it is. You misunderstood my point. Perhaps I didn't phrase it well enough. I've led a sheltered life, therefore my judgment is constrained by my background and I don't necessarily have the right to participate in this discussion. (I apologize if I came across as sanctimonious.) However, I do have an opinion. My opinion is that all parties in such situations should be held responsible, not just the one who transmitted the DNA. He should be held accountable, of course. The woman should be held accountable, and certainly she differs from the men in that she cannot avoid her consequences. She can, however, make her other partners have their consequences, but only if she identifies all of her partners during the period in which she conceived. I don't think any woman is a slut, and I never use that term. I don't think she should be able to avoid the consequences of her judgment. The men who behave likewise shouldn't either. Perhaps it would overwhelm our legal system to pursue my theory, shielding only some people from the consequences of their behavior based on a DNA test offends my sense of justice.
