A young man claiming to be the son of Howard Hughes is suing the estate for his inheritance. Hughes (multimillionaire, inventor, businessman, and subject of the 2004 film, Aviator), did not leave behind any heirs upon his death. The judge overseeing this case, orders blood tests. Howard Hughes has blood type AB, the mother of the young man has type A blood, and the young man had type O. If you were the judge in this case, what would be your ruling?
Final answer:
The judge would rule that the young man claiming to be the son of Howard Hughes is not biologically his son because of their blood types.
Explanation:
The judge in this case would rule that the young man claiming to be the son of Howard Hughes is not biologically his son. This is because blood type O is inherited from two parents who both have type O or who have type A and type B. Since Howard Hughes has blood type AB and the mother has type A, they can’t have a child with blood type O. As a judge, it is important to rely on scientifically accurate evidence, such as blood tests, to make legal decisions.
