Link to BBC News Article: India man to sue parents for giving birth to him.

The basis for the claim seems to be rooted in a belief called "Anti-Natalism" -- the argument that life is so full of misery that people should stop procreating immediately.

The Plaintiff wrote:

"There's no point to humanity. So many people are suffering. If humanity is extinct, Earth and animals would be happier. They'll certainly be better off. Also no human will then suffer. Human existence is totally pointless. Isn't forcing a child into this world and forcing it to have a career, kidnapping, and slavery? Your parents had you instead of a toy or a dog, you owe them nothing, you are their entertainment."

Six months ago, one day at breakfast, the plaintiff told his mother that he was planning to sue her.

She said, "That's fine, but don't expect me to go easy on you. I will destroy you in court."

The plaintiff is now looking for a lawyer to take up his case, but so far he's not had much success.

:roll:

I wonder why?

If it gets as far as a court, the judge will probably dismiss the suit as being "without merit."

At least that's how it would go in USA, can't really say about other countries. Well, yes. Maybe they'll admit the case, find for the defendant(s), and stick the son with all the fees.

^ Yep, there is.

Fnord, you should scan all of WP before posting any more nuisance threads. You did not consult the membership whether it was okay to post this poll. We are collectively going to sue you for posting without consent.

Shame on you!

This is NOT a nuisance thread.

But to make you happy, I will ask the moderators to lock it.

I don't think it's a "nuisance thread" at all.

Maybe an inadvertent "repeat thread."

It's very instructive. It shows the extent of despair in some people. It also shows the litiginous nature of some people.

What theater of absurd ? Ezra merely pointed out a recent thread about this topic existed.

Guys, guys, guys! I was just teasing. And I'm pretty sure Fnord knows that, even if all of you don't.
