BBC Uganda paternity testing causes huge controversy 5 Aug 2023 By Priya Sippy

　何かの種類の魚かなにかであったな、そんな交配戦略をとる生き物。

「With reports of a sharp increase in the number of men in Uganda seeking paternity tests, fears are growing it could break up families and leave children psychologically scarred.

The issue has been a hot topic of debate in the country since a tabloid newspaper published a story claiming that a well-known business tycoon - who had several wives and mistresses - had a row with one of his spouses, prompting him to request paternity tests that reportedly said he was the biological father of only 15 of his 25 children.」

　ともあれ。そういうタブロイド紙報道に始まり、ウガンダ国内いたるところでDNAテストが大流行！
　…いや、流行を見て低品質・偽装キットが入ってもいるようだし、待て、ちょっと待て男たち！　という声もあるが―まあねえ、そりゃあ男としてはねえ…。

「But the story spread like wildfire and has caused huge controversy over the last few months, prompting some lawmakers to make an emotional appeal to men to stop putting their families and children through the trauma of tests.」

　ともあれ、もはや「…俺の子じゃ…なかっ…た…！」という絶望とともに事件をやらかしちゃった向きもあるようで、社会はだいぶ混乱している模様。

　とりあえず私としては托卵女はほろびろー、と言っておきたい。

「Human rights activist Lindsey Kukunda said the fact that wives sometimes secretly have a relationship with another man, to give her husband a child, "is not new".

"Our ancestors did it, our grandparents did it, our mothers did it," she said.」

　それを好き勝手にやられても困るわけですよ。社会契約は「そぅ」はなってないわけで。
