Born Without Permission: The True Story of the Boy Who Sued His Parents for Giving Him Birth Without His Consent

Description

What if you could sue your parents for giving you life? Most people thank their parents for bringing them into this world. Raphael Samuel decided to take them to court. His extraordinary real-life case became a media sensation in India and around the world, turning one outrageous question into a global conversation: “Did anyone ask me if I wanted to be born?” Born Without Permission explores an unconventional true story that challenges our assumptions about parenthood, love, suffering, tradition, responsibility, and the meaning of life itself. Can you consent to being born when you don’t yet exist? Is life truly a gift—or a gamble made on someone else’s behalf? Blending a provocative real-life legal controversy with philosophical questions, this thought-provoking and sometimes darkly humorous book challenges readers to reconsider one of humanity’s most unquestioned assumptions: that being born is automatically a good thing. You may laugh. You may disagree. You may even get angry. But you won’t be able to stop asking: “Why was I born?” A compelling read for those interested in philosophy, social issues, parenting, ethics, human rights, and unconventional true stories.
