A man sued his parents for "without his consent"

A 27-year-old man from New Delhi, India, wants to bring his parents to justice for bringing him to the world without first asking for his consent.

Raphael Samuel, the applicant, describes himself as part of the antinatalist movement, according to which people should refrain from having children for moral reasons.

Although Samuel says that his relationship with his family is good, he argues that parents are "hypocrites" who subject their children to the difficulties of life for their own pleasure. "A good father puts the child above his wishes and needs … but the child himself is a father's desire," said Samuel.

The antinatalist has compared procreation to kidnapping and slavery and baderts his beliefs on his Facebook page, Nihilanand, who has hundreds of followers.

"I want to tell all Indian children that they owe nothing to their parents," said Samuel. "I love my parents and we have excellent relationships, but they have me for their joy and their pleasure. My life has been amazing, but I do not see why I should submit another life to school brouhaha and looking for a job, especially when they did not ask to exist. "

Other anti-reproductive activists claim that having children is a burden on the Earth's resources and avoids procreation for environmental reasons. "We must continue to bring more children into this world and accelerate the process of social and environmental degradation.asked Pratima Naik, another leader of the anti-natalist movement.

"We do not want to impose our beliefs on anyone but more people have to consider why having a child in the world right now is not fairHe added, "We are a group of people who have decided not to reproduce. We are Indians without children! "
