Soooo much insanity in this world Mumbai business executive Raphael Samuel argues that creating people without their consent is wrong. Let’s say that someone, without asking your permission in advance, kidnapped you and brought you to a new country where your life would be noisy, confusing, and full of suffering. That seems like something you could sue for, right? Now let’s say that the way they did this was by giving birth to you. That’s (approximately) the logic of Raphael Samuel, a Mumbai business executive suing his parents for creating him. He told the BBC that he’s been obsessed since he was a small child with the question of why his parents were entitled to create him without his consent. Because it’s not possible to ask children for consent before they are created, he argues, it’s wrong to have them at all. Samuel’s suit looks unlikely to get anywhere in India’s courts. The BBC reports that he’s been unable to find a lawyer to take his case, and his parents, both lawyers, have responded in good humor: “She said that’s fine,” Samuel said of his call to his mother with the news he was suing her, “but don’t expect me to go easy on you. I will destroy you in court.” Someone needs to look under the hood to see if he's firing on all cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
