27-year-old man plans to sue his parents for having him without his consent: ‘They had me for their joy and their pleasure’
Just when you thought you'd heard it all

A 27-year-old Indian man plans to sue his parents — with whom he admits to having a good relationship — because they brought him into the world without his consent.
LOL. Really?
Really.
Raphael Samuel of New Delhi said that children aren't indebted to their parents and that children should ask their mothers and fathers "for an explanation as to why they gave birth to you."
"I want to tell all Indian kids that they don't owe their parents anything," Samuel told India's The Print. "I love my parents, and we have a great relationship, but they had me for their joy and their pleasure."
He added, "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."
Samuel's belief is part of a system called "anti-natalism," which promotes the notion that children shouldn't be forced to be born, especially at the expense of the planet.
"Other Indian people must know that it is an option not to have children, and to ask your parents for an explanation as to why they gave birth to you," he explained.
Samuel even went on to compare childbearing to both kidnapping and slavery.
The outlet reported that Samuel runs a Facebook page called "Nihilanand," which boasts a whopping 800 followers. You can find various memes and videos advocating for allowing the human race to die.
One photo reads, "A good parent puts the child above its wants and needs," but "the child itself is a want of the parent."
Another calls parents "hypocrites" and asks, "Isn't forcing a child into this world and then forcing it to have a career kidnapping and slavery?"
Another posting reads, "The only reason your children are facing problems is because you had them."
