Let's say you are a doctor. A man needs a transplant, or his kid has some genetic disease. Testing is done and you find out the man is not this child's father. Do you tell the family?

nope. You only answer the questions they have asked. Doing anything else would be butting into there buisiness, and out of place. You would simply tell them the blood wont work unless they ask to know why.

I would tell the mother. Then let her explain the rest to the father. If the mother is not available and the kid is the one giving the transplant to the father then I would tell the kid. If the kid has a genetic disease and the father is the only one left then there is only one option. You are not a compatable match for your son.

The Dr does not have to tell it in that manner. Let sleeping dogs lie

I believe the doctor must tell ... for medical reasons for certain.

Yes, but I'd pull in the Mother and talk to her first.
