Paternity tests are legal in France, although not super easy to get: https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F14042

A court can order a paternity test in three specific cases:

  • contest paternity
  • child support dispute
  • to establish the identity of a dead person

In the same vein of logic, murder is legal if a court orders it. (Before someone comes in with a rebuttal about murder being the "unlawful" killing, two points: 1. execution in one country is not necessary legal in another country, 2. murder has multiple definitions, some which exclude the word "lawful.")

In what context other than those three would you want a paternity test?

Since "contesting paternity" means legally contesting paternity in a court of law, another context would be to casually test paternity via a third party.

Yet another example of a situation where analyzing genetic information could be useful would be students studying forensics or any person at all interested in forensics for whatever reason, even by hobby. "Whoops, I accidentally discovered two strands of hair share genetic information, so I just committed a crime."

France is one step closer to having thought police.
