Huang Qinglong, the founding chairman of the Xinmin Association, held a new book launch event yesterday (14th) titled "Diary of the Unsolved Mystery of the Chiang Family's Bloodline, Guo Libo's Memoirs and DNA, Revealing the Ultimate Truth about the Twins' Origins", which aroused public concern about paternity DNA testing.
It remains a mystery whether Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan’s Chiang family bloodline is genuine. After Huang Qinglong, founding chairman of the Christian People’s Association, held a book launch event, public concern arose about paternity DNA testing! According to the health education information of the Tri-Service General Hospital, blood samples are usually used for identification, so that blood types can be compared. Unless blood collection is difficult for infants and young children, oral mucosal cells can be collected with cotton swabs without fasting. The test process takes about half an hour from identity confirmation to completion of blood drawing, and test results normally take 3 working days.
It is a mystery whether Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's Chiang family bloodline is true. Chiang said in an interview yesterday, "I have already answered it four years ago and in 2022." Guo Libo's son Guo Yixi said that he felt that he had answered it before and could answer it again because the situation was different. He hoped that Chiang Wanan would be brave enough to face the question, "I am willing to test it with you!"
The mystery of whether Jiang Wanan is of Jiang family origin has aroused public concern about paternity DNA testing. According to the health education information of the Tri-Service General Hospital, DNA can be purified from blood, oral mucosal cells, semen, urine, hair roots, teeth, bones, muscle tissue, etc. for paternity testing. However, our laboratory is currently only open to the use of blood or oral mucosal cells for general identification cases, so that blood types can be compared. Unless blood collection is difficult for infants and young children, oral mucosal cells can be collected with cotton swabs without fasting.
People are most concerned about the accuracy when conducting paternity tests. The health education information of the Tri-Service General Hospital mentions that its laboratory has also been certified by the Department of Health and Welfare and the College of American Pathologists (CAP). It can detect 23 STR loci and the accuracy can exceed 99.99%.
Is it illegal to conduct a paternity test using specimens secretly obtained? The health education material of the Tri-Service General Hospital emphasizes that when a specimen collector collects human tissue and submits it for DNA identification without his/her consent, the specimen collector himself certainly constitutes an infringement of privacy, and the institution that performs the identification participates in the infringement of privacy by providing professional assistance. According to the joint infringement provisions of Article 185 of the Civil Code, the identification agency shall be jointly and severally liable for damages with the person who entrusted the identification. This is also the main reason why the three general administrations do not allow anonymous inspections.
People who want to take a DNA paternity test do not need to register in advance. According to the health education information of the Tri-Service General Hospital, it can be done during normal working hours. Since paternity testing is not a medical practice, there is no health insurance and it is a self-paid item. The cost is calculated on a per capita basis, with an average of 7,268 yuan per person, and a comparison of two people is 14,536 yuan.
