Before he existed, he had no rights. Therefore, his parents did not violate his (non-existent) rights by creating him. True, having brought a child into the world in a helpless, defenseless state, parents are obligated to support, protect, and give him some sort of survival training until his majority, but then their obligation ends.

The age old question.....To be birthed OR Not to be birthed. This will imbue the fetus with the right to answer the question.
There will have to be a "fetus whisperer" to ask the question.
Planned Parenthood is now looking for proper candidates for the position.

Allrighty then......the child can sue the parents for not having permission to birth the baby. It stands to reason the child can ALSO sue the parents for not having permission to abort the child.....PERFECT!!

Of course we do, dear!

Mother: “Kick once if you want to be born, kick twice if we should start the abortion?”

Recently I know of at least two children who really thanked their mothers for giving them birth. One intercepted his mother's mail (she is in the hospital with a broken leg), he paid all her bills! The other, a girl, thanked her mother for taking her and her three siblings to the Women's Shelter when her drunken father got abusive!

I have to be honest. In looking at him if I was his mother I would sue him for being such a thankless child! How dare he? There isn't anything special about him but his mother is special. She gave him life!

Well, now that you mention it! I don't think anyone asked my permission to impregnate me unless it was in the marriage ceremony and since I helped write that I don't recall it. I was truly surprised when my husband informed me I was pregnant!

Thank you.

That is an interesting concept.

Check this out with the Mormons. They believe that every person chooses his parents before conception, as the spirit is in the "pre-existence" waiting to be born again. So this bloke, in fact, chose or hired or appointed his parents to bring him into existence. No backing out of the contract now, you scoundrel. The Mormons also explain that one cannot remember the pre-existence, as a veil is drawn across when the individual comes into this world, so he would not remember having made that contract. Just accept that he did.

I'm not sure which version is funnier.

I suppose that the Left would say that after that first slap to get the baby to breathe, he cries. And that should tell the parent that he doesn't want to be here. In the past, these idiots would be laughed at and forgotten, but now we are having a discussion about them. This whole thing is utterly ridiculous.

The parents should counter-sue for him destroying their well-intentioned egg and sperm and evolving into a moral waste that he is. Termination of this abomination seems to be the best solution.

If one is to follow your logic, a person in a comma has no ability to consent or dissent, and certainly no way of paying for any services; therefore, turning off the feeding machine is a moral right... Should we continue with that "logic"?

I think a good outcome from this lawsuit is a dose of something that will just kill him painlessly and be done with it

I'm not entirely sure why this even rates discussion, though it is humorous.

A modern spin on "What came first the chicken or the egg" only infinitely less thought provoking and more ridiculous.

I would love to see a judge say, "Get Out of my courtroom. Case dismissed." The next thing we'll see is an aborted leftist suing their parents for aborting them. It is my contention that abortion should be allowed up through the teen year's, but only for Democrats. This would solve several problems we've invented.

In reality I still believe the government should stay out of the issue entirely. Any taking of life however needs to be punished according to the law. We just have to figure out what we can agree on as to what life is. It'll be an issue for many years to come, keeps the politicians busy defending their prejudices and powers.

I saw this two days ago. I really thought it was The Onion.

Both his parents are lawyers. The three of them have likely put together this show for fun or for political position. Stay tuned to see which of them decide to stand for Parliament.

Send him to NY. If they can kill a baby immediately after birth then I am sure we can grant his wish.

I love it. No problem, here is the form (check one):
1. Want to live
2. Don't want to burden the world

Magistrate, if 1 is checked, dismiss the case, and register the plaintiff in the Waste of Time Database. If 2 is checked execute the plaintiff without delay.

The parents should countersue for the costs of raising such an idiot. Last number I saw bandied about was about $180,000 as the cost of raising a child...

We need two bullets: one for the guy suing, and one for his attorney.

Seems obvious and correct to me -- if--
you 'believe' that human life begins before birth, then he should have been asked for his consent at the right time about such a major decision. Without proof of having that consent the parents are guilty as charged.

If- laws and court systems were to follow that belief, parents who do not trust their (unborn- they call it) children and want to avoid being sued, will know what to do. (legal or not)
Maybe it is not so bad, a new profession will spring up of (suitably licensed) psychic commmunicators who will convey the arrangement to the .er. unborn, and will present their consent. (Outreach officers to the unborn community) .
Wait a mo. suppose the state acredited psychic communicator (SAPC) fails to provide consent, what then? Life having begun at conception they say, what to do? Answer- the communicators have to start work earlier on ovo and sperm requiring a large employment increase for SAPCs to the delight of Keysian economists.

I could go on but it all too much fun.
