"I must admire my son's temerity to want to take his parents to court knowing both of us are lawyers," she wrote on Facebook.

"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.

"I'm very happy that my son has grown up into a fearless, independent thinking young man."

After announcing his plan to take legal action against his parents, Raphael told The Print he has a good relationship with them.

"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."

It’s not clear if the move is real or stunt. In the Youtube video Raphael is seen wearing what appears to be a fake beard while he explains why he is suing his parents.
