An unusual announcement by a 27-year-old Mumbai businessman, Raphael Samuel has brought him instant fame overnight as it has caught media attention worldwide.
“I’m suing my parents for you!!!” said his video link post on Facebook that shows a heavily disguised Raphael with an over-sized beard and sunglasses.
In the clip, he outlines his plans to take legal action against his parents because they brought him into the world without his consent.
Even though he tried his best to hide his identity, NewsViews, however, can reveal the face behind that beard and sunglasses (see photo below).
“I want everyone in India and the world to realise one thing — that they are born without their consent,” he said.
“I want them to understand that they do not owe their parents anything,” he goes on.
“My father is still getting over the idea, but my mother wishes that she had met me before I was born, and she would not have had me,” Raphael said.
His parents are both lawyers, but he himself is still trying to find a lawyer to fight his case.
In a comment posted on her son’s Facebook page, Raphael’s mother said, “If Raphael could come up with a rational explanation as to how we could have sought his consent to be born, I will accept my fault.”
“Isn’t forcing a child into this world and then forcing it to have a career kidnapping and slavery?…”This is what I want to tell everyone; that you have an option to not have children,” he said.
There have been very mixed reactions on his Facebook page where some have called him a ‘DUMBASS’, ‘outright idiot attempting to make himself to an online star,” ‘ retarded chump of a bloke’, and others who have ‘wished him well’ and ‘Thank you’.
Irrespective of his true intentions, at least this ‘anti-natalist’ Raphael has started a worldwide debate on his plea that humans should stop procreating.
