“"Our search of the law has caused us to conclude that we must take judicial recognition that although serological blood tests to determine type or group cannot indicate that a particular person is the father of a child, they can be used to establish that a particular person is not the father. These tests when properly performed and interpreted, are recognized to be accurate and the results are admissible to establish non-paternity." Id. at 229 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. G_M_H v. J_L_H · Bsh v. Jjh“"Judicial disregard of blood test exclusions is no doubt due to a misconception of the true nature of the exclusion, which is a demonstrable and scientific fact of life. It is neither controversial nor in the field of expert testimony. The pathologist whose report excludes paternity is not giving `opinion' evidence. He is testifying to ... a fact of life and Nature."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. G_M_H v. J_L_H · Bsh v. Jjh“the reliability of blood tests properly given to prove non parentage in certain cases of blood groupings has become unquestioned in the scientific and medical world.”
