    It is entirely your decision. It’s also their decision if they can ethically perform the procedure.

    Some people read that a vasectomy can be reversed and understand that they are 100% reversible 100% of the time. If someone says they want a vasectomy so they can skip other forms of birth control until they’re ready to have kids, the doctor needs to correct their misunderstanding before they can ethically perform the procedure.

    “Informed consent” requires making sure the individual is “informed”, “able to consent”, and “consenting”.
