Status of Children, Final Report 20
The law distinguishes between persons born i n wedlock and persons born out of wedlock. The distinctions are to the disadvantage of the person born out of wedlock, and we see no reason why the law should not do what it can to remove t h a t disadvantage. To that end, we will propose that the legal distinction between legitimate children and illegitimate children be done away with.
