    I have said it before, and I will say it again. - It is clear discrimination unless the judge makes this mandatory for all adopted children during the 1976/1983 period.

    Is this a case of illegal adoption? or a political attack to the a media mogul? The kids don't want to know and they don't really care so what is it?

    No one benefits when their person is violated especially by the State.
    It is the height of hypocrisy for a country to cry daily about human rights then violate someone's privacy in this way.
    This is a case of political elites applying laws for revenge.
    Argentina is nothing but a doomed kleptocracy. It's disgusting.

    The latest news is that the judge will allow the blood to be taken, but will not allow it to be DNA tested. Could this be a method of continually dragging-out the controversy, so that the government´s contention cannot be really addressed until after the election?

    Politics using the law as a vicious tool of State psychological torture.
    At least a one-way flight over the sea has an end point; this is life-long cruelty wrought by an evil Government.

    Even for them my Son………….. Even for them.
    A prerequisite for absolution the acknowledgment of your sins.
    And acknowledgment is much easier when the truth has been spoken.
