Man Sues Parents For Giving Birth
iAV - Antelope Valley Digital Magazine
The philosophy
of anti-
natalism has been around for a while. It’s the belief that repro- duction is bad because it involves bringing someone into this world without their consent and dooming them to potential suffer- ing.
Mumbai busi- nessman Raphael Samuel (aka Nihil Anand)
has now taken this one step fur- ther by claiming that he’s going to sue his parents for giving birth to him without his consent.
His mother's response: "I must admire my son's temerity to want to take his par- ents to court knowing both of us are lawyers. And if Raphael could come up with a rational
explanation as to how we could have sought his consent to be born, I will accept my fault."
Of course, Samuel hasn't yet found a lawyer willing to take his case. And he fully anticipates that the case will promptly be thrown out. But he's plowing ahead neverthe- less.
