Sterilization - what's your take?
-
I'm talking about sterilization of humans... not cats and dogs.
Would anyone opt to undergo such procedures? If so, would you do it before or after you have kids of your own? If you're intending to do it wihout having kids of your own, what are your reasons?
If you have no intention of having any of such procedures performed on yourself, do you take a neutral stand or will you advise against it strongly?
Religious issues aside, that is.
And NO, don't think so much about why I'm asking this.
edit: have to add that I am not fishing for information to do homework

Sterilization is a surgical technique leaving a male or female unable to procreate. It is a method of birth control. For non-surgical causes of sterility, see infertility.
Common sterilization methods include:
Vasectomy in males. (permanent, irreversible)
The vasa deferentia, the tubes which connect the testicles to the prostate, are cut and closed. This prevents sperm produced in
the testicles to enter the ejaculated semen (which is mostly produced in the seminal vesicles and prostate). Although the term 'vasectomy' is established in the general community, the correct medical terminology is deferentectomy, since the structure known as the 'vas deferens' has been renamed the ductus deferens.
Tubal ligation in females. (intended to be permanent, reversible in some cases)
Known popularly as "having one's tubes tied". The Fallopian tubes, which allow the sperm to fertilize the ovum and would carry the fertilized ovum to the uterus, are closed. This generally involves a general anaethetic and a laparotomy or laparoscopic approach to cut, clip or cauterize the fallopian tubes. Less commonly used is the Essure office procedure of inducing scarring and occlusion of the tubes by the effects of small pellets inserted by a catheter passed through the cervix and womb.
Hysterectomy in females. (permanent, irreversible)
The uterus is surgically removed, permanently preventing pregnancy and some diseases, such as uterine cancer.
Castration in males. (permanent, irreversible)
The testicles are surgically removed. This is frequently used for the sterilization of animals, with added effects such as docility, greatly reduced sexual behaviour, and faster weight gain (which is desirable in some cases, for example to accelerate meat production [more for animals]).

i'm not sure about the the world over, but i know a few guys that have gotten them.Originally posted by MooKu:lots?

I think they did because they already have all the children that they want but want to continue having sex (of course) without having to use the normal methods of birth control. -
cut that martherfcuker dick off!
and no, i won't do it either. -
Hmm.. No comments...
-
sterilize all sex criminals .... rapists, child molesters etc ...
they should not be allowed to bonk at all, much less breed ! ....
better yet, castrate them, potong ! ... leave them a just a little stub to pee with ! ... -
Most people will only consider having sterilisation after having a few kids and have made the decision of not having more kids.
It's rather common nowadays, not a big deal anymore. In the Asian culture though, I believe the female is more likely to be the one who has to go through the procedure than the male. -
hmmmm
i never thought of that, myself,
maybe one day, i will, thats when i am old, of course -
Arrr... does this allow men to fool around without worrying about babies?
Actually I also have considered because I have a son and daughter liao. That's a major deciding point. Does this affect hormone levels? -
i'd most likely get myself sterilized (the reversible one lar) after 30 years old..
to prevent accidents that i will most likely regret and hate myself for. -
No, don't do that if you're still planning to have kids one day. That's a high risk that it could be permanent. Just use birth pills and/or other contraceptive methods.Originally posted by shinta:i'd most likely get myself sterilized (the reversible one lar) after 30 years old..

Nowadays, there are patches (I believe I heard something about it a while ago) instead of pills so you don't have to worry about forgetting taking the pills. -
Wah lao!
Castration, then machiam like the last enunch appear again liao lor. -
I would like to quote a character in one of my fav TV shows Family Guy
"What do you get when you take the venom out of the cobra? a belt!" - Quagmire -
well, i guess most pple do it only after they have enough kids or when they really know they don't want one.
but i would really say not to take such drastic steps in case you regret for those who think they don't want kids.
for those who have enough(10 kids? ) i guess its ok to go through the procedure -
its very common for married couples with children to have one party go thru the procedure.
at least, both parties dont have to worry about birth control anymore and can focus their energy to raising the kids they already have. -
What about singles who want to do that?
edit: ok er no not singles, i mean, people without kids of their own YET
it could be that they'd like to put adoption above having kids of their own, that it doesn't really matter not having kids of their own.
what if a couple like that decides to have sterilization done?
i mean, it's permanent... so... would you think it crazy or an ok-decision? -

IMO kinda too extreme cos you never know what you're gonna want in the future - "Never say never" . It's not for me. But I won't go ballistic over people who've done it for below reason.Originally posted by MooKu:What about singles who want to do that?
