I've been pondering the purpose of vasectomies lately, mostly due to a conversation I've had with a guy who would not seem to have a problem with it. I understand his views, and they do have their validity, but something about the word turns my stomach. Is it just the Catholic puritanical values that have been instilled in me rearing their controlling little heads? Or is there somthing deeper, morally, that is tugging at my Jiminy Cricket of a conscience?
