    • I know, I guess google is too big a word for some to type into the computer, huh?

    • I'm not sure why people are getting at you for giving a perfectly reasonable answer.

      • In what world do you consider 7+ thumbs up, derogatory?

      • That's because some people here dislike him.

      • Well, the average young man would not be able to get a doctor to give him a vasectomy. This option is really only open to older men or men who already have several children, or have some kind of horrible disease. It's the same policy with female sterilization.

        • That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. There are no age requirements for a Vasectomy. Where in the world do you get your information, comic books?

          • It's called ethics, you moron. While technically anyone over 18 can ask for sterilization, it's not required that the doctor oblige. Permanent birth control (sterilization) is not a standard first course of action for the young/childless. Performing sterilizations on anyone is taken quite seriously.

            • Wow. I don't know where you live, but it's not in any real world. What the fuck is ethical about forcing someone else to live by YOUR ethics?
              It's not a doctor's place to dictate morals for his patients and even the right to life assholes don't even give a crap if some 18 year old decides he wants to fuck worry free. It's nobody's business what some male chooses to do about his reproductive status, anymore than it is for a female. I'm all for sterilizing you, though.

              • Being legally able to consent to a procedure =\= being entitled to it. Sterilization is a very serious matter. It's considered permanent. There's lots one must go through before having it done. Interviews, counseling, waiting periods. For young people with no children, other non-permanent options are preferable. A doctor can be sued for sterilizing a person without proper consideration. Again, ethics.

                Life changing elective procedures are up to ethics, whether you like it or not.

                Are you really saying a normal 18 year old would encounter no resistance in his or her quest to be sterilized? Really? I, late 20's at the time, got refused.
