Paternity Surprises?

From the Wall Street Journal: "As genetic testing has become more common, so has an uncomfortable side effect: paternity surprises. Genetics students are commonly taught that 5% to 15% of the men on birth certificates aren't the biological fathers of their children. The rate of nonpaternity can vary from community to community. The Sorenson Genealogy Foundation in Salt Lake City found that the nonpaternity (PC-speak for "bitch done lied") rate from a sample of father-son pairs among its' 100,000 volunteers is less than 2%. At the other extreme, an unpublished study of blood groups in a British town found that around 30% of the town's husbands weren't the fathers of their children. While geneticists conducting large population studies tend to keep the news to themselves, genetic counselors, who work with parents of children with birth defects, generally inform the couple.

In such cases, most counselors tell the mother, but not the father."

OK, let's go back to that last part again. The bitch cheated on the husband, which she damned well knows already. So they tell her, but not him, that he isn't the father. She already knows, but he needs to know. And he's usually the one paying for the tests in the first place. So why do they tell her? And what possible justification can they offer, however feeble and pathetic it may be, for not telling him?
