Should DNA test for babies be mandatory?

I just saw a video where men and women were asked this question and oh lord, it was a heated debate.

But what do you guys think ? Should men have the right to get a mandatory DNA test for their children?

Meaning a DNA test for everyone the moment a child is born ?

Pro arguments for this is

1. Women always know to 100% if the child is theirs, man don’t, so this would be fair.

2. It could protect men from being scammed raising children that are not theirs.

Discuss.

I might be understanding OP correctly or wrong I don't know. But I think OP isn't saying that it is a must to test, but rather IF the men choose to want to get their "child" tested, they should or shouldn't have the right to get the child a mandatory test.

Or maybe I'm understanding OP wrongly since the 2 sentences kinda contradict hm...

SandyBee3 which one is it?

I don’t really get what you mean, but the debate was if it should be mandatory as in within the Law. And by request of the father they can have a look at the parenting results.

Not mandatory, but both parents should be allowed to request a paternity test if they want. And the other parent should be unable to refuse.

If the other parent shouldn’t be unable to refuse, than it’s made mandatory, at least mandatory by request.

Why should it be mandatory? if the family has problems they can do it themselves but it shouldn't be something to force.

Quote from Pikachu-Senpai

lol nah. if the supposed father of the baby doesn't trust the mama then that's their own issues to deal with.

Yeah, but these test are hella expensive and if the mother refuses, it even has to go to court, which the one taking it to court has the pay too.

Also one argument was, if it’s mandatory and everyone does it, the “trust” question won’t even come up cause it’s mandatory and everyone will do it.

Are you asking if

1. DNA test should or should not be mandatory so that the Dad will also know if the baby is theirs? Regardless of whether they want or don't want to test

Yes

Quote from icyruios

If that's the case then no I don't think it should be mandatory. I do think that IF either of the parent wants to do a DNA test, the other parents shouldn't be allowed to refuse

But if they are not allowed to refuse, isn’t it mandatory by request?

My bad ... I quoted you wrong, it as option 2 of what you said. Mandatory by request.
