i was wondering if a woman find out that her husband is not the father of her two children.
could it be pausible that all the men who might be the father show up to be tested for DNA?
How would this go about?
I am thinking of writing a romantic comedy.

It's possible to use DNA testing to determine with a fair degree of certainty whether a given man is the father of a given child.
I have trouble envisioning a scenario in which ALL the men who might be the father would be tested for paternity. But that's up to you.

i found a site about DNA testing.
"The procedure for Legal DNA Paternity TEsting can through submission of blood or buccal swabs (dacron swabs) There is a requirement for all parties being tested to attend a hospital or clinic for sample collection . . . "
It may be possible. All "suspects" are doctors or medical professions who work at the same hospital.
I have been working on a serious story for a novel the last 4 months about a woman who finds out her children are not her husband's.
I am putting the novel aside for now.
I am switching the whole direction and writing a romantic comedy screenplay instead. I woke up this early morning a came up with a outline.
One of my problems was figuring out how I could sell the idea of a couple of the guys together to submit their samples.

DNA testing can sometimes be done with hair (I'm pretty sure) although it's more difficult to do and is done only in a few labs.
Also, no reputable DNA lab is supposed to test without consent from the person being tested.
But hair samples can be obtained fairly easily and without a person knowing.
If you had hair samples and knew a corrupt lab technician, it could be done illegally without the potential parent knowing.
Maybe this helps, maybe not,

We testing for fathers. It is a bunch of doctors, males nurses, technicians, directors who worked in a hospital and had a nurse, "Betty Duty". I want to get them together for embarrassment and for some, fun. They are all suspect of fathering "Betty's" kids.
I will not use the name Betty.
I think that it can work.
Thanks
