In today’s dose of weird news, a man from Mumbai is suing his parents for giving birth to him because they didn’t ask for his consent to be alive.
Raphael Samuel is a child-free “anti-natalist” advocate who believes children shouldn’t be made to suffer.
The 27-year-old though shares a great bonding with his parents, he is now suing them for giving him birth.
“I love my parents, and we have a great relationship, but they had me for their joy and their pleasure.
“My life has been amazing, but I don’t see why I should put another life through the rigamarole of school and finding a career, especially when they didn’t ask to exist.”
He added that people must know they don’t have to have children.
The child-free advocate also said people must ask their parents for an explanation as to why they had children.
Raphael in a video on Youtube said: “Has that person treated you well? Is that person giving you freedom? Is that person encouraging your growth?”
In his Facebook page Nihiland, he wrote-
“Your parents are two people at the age of 20-25 who just wanted a good night together and then they had you. Your parents had you instead of a toy or a dog, you owe them nothing, you are their entertainment.”
“Isn’t forcing a child into this world and then forcing it to have a career kidnapping and slavery? ”
