This issue came up in Boston Legal, and I thought the way how they did it was impossible. So let's run it by the board:
Denise realized she got pregnant, and since there were 2 possible fathers, she took DNA samples to compare it with the fetus' DNA.
Now I am guessing she was about 6 weeks into her pregnancy, and I think that is way too early to check a fetus' DNA withoutserious medical penetration into the womb. I can see that when doctors can get a blood sample of the baby, the DNA comparison is easy, but I would put that time much later in the pregnancy.
Also that early in the pregnancy there is no medical reasons (there could be legal) why they should endanger the fetus by trying to DNA sample it.
But I am not an expert, so feel free to correct me...
