Raphael Samuel, 27, has compared having children to 'kidnapping and slavery' On his Facebook page he sends anti-natalist posts to hundreds of followers He intends to sue his parents despite having a 'great relationship' with them

A man is planning to sue his parents in India for giving birth to him 'without his consent'.

Raphael Samuel said he had a 'great relationship' with his parents but has compared having children to 'kidnapping and slavery'.

The 27-year-old from Mumbai is an 'anti-natalist' who believes it is wrong to put an unwilling child through the 'rigmarole' of life for the pleasure of its parents.

The anti-natalist movement is gaining traction in India as younger people resist social pressure to have children.

Speaking to The Print Samuel said: '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.'

Samuel runs a Facebook page called Nihilanand, which has hundreds of followers, on which he regularly posts anti-natalist material.

One image is captioned 'parents are hypocrites', with the text saying: 'A good parent puts the child above is wants and needs... but the child itself is a want of the parent'

A similar meme posted on the Facebook page reads: 'If parents truly know what is good for their children... why did they have them?'

Another asks: 'Isn't forcing a child into this world and then forcing it to have a career kidnapping and slavery?'.

In yet another picture he writes: 'The only reason your children are facing problems is because you had them'.

Margaret Sanger advocated an enforced policy of no-more-babies for a period of 10 years. She wasn’t about a woman’s “right to choose”.

Marge chose DEATH and imposed it on millions.

In other words, millennials who don't want to get a job or a raise a family in spite of pressure from their peers or extended family.

Nitwittery is emerging world-wide. The people are mentally ill. I guess they all are present or future LIB/DIM voters.

His parents should sue him for emotional distress.

There is something mentally wrong with the man.

LIFE writ large is “happy” (pleased, accepting) just to exist, as opposed to not existing, adverse circumstances or not.

Instead of suing his parents I think it would be more honest of him to commit suicide - telling his parents, “Thanks for nothing”. And his parents could respond to the ungrateful man saying simply “You are welcome”.
