Rating: 3, Good, ordinary, story
Heartwarming story of a man in near-future Seattle who learns he had a son with a woman he knew nine years ago--except that he never had sex with her.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The moment when the narrator realizes he wants this boy because he still loves the mother is deeply moving. The resolution is acceptable.
Con: If this is a known scam, the immigration people would have routinely checked for it--especially when the "father" insisted he'd never had relations with the woman. If the treatment leaves a visible blister, then the recipient would know to wait for it to go away before applying.

Good, heartwarming story. I assume the gene manipulation scam is still quite new and the law hasn’t caught up to it yet but yea that does sounds like a long window of loophole :)
