Between the Universal and the Particular — An Interview with Professor Eunseok Paik

‘South Korea has the lowest birth rate of all OECD countries. Yet the court recognized a relationship that doesn’t have even the possibility of contributing to…the very survival and the existence of the human race…and treats that relationship in the same brush with the one that has that possibility of carrying on the human race. To me, it is a very bad legal reasoning.’
