    It is not an unreasonable question, I was asked the same when I got my vasectomy. The implication was “you are young enough to have another should the worst happen”, not that kids are replaceable parts.

      That doesn’t really matter though. Doctors aren’t supposed to judge like that. You have to deal with that because you’re, emphasis on you, are making the decision right now to forfeit that ability in the future.

      Cool. That implication doesn’t matter if you’re in an abusive relationship where your husband expects you to keep pumping out children.
