As a woman, I fear most people don't understand how much hormonal birth control can increase blood clots, cancer risk, mood changes, and all sorts of side effects.
There doesn't seem to be a free lunch when it comes to biological modifications.

- mberning 3y agoI agree. What are the chances that a young person taking this for the first time will recognize the side effects and know that it is from this vs something else. I guess they can always go to the doctor after the fact, but in some cases the harm will have already been done.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoVasectomies are pretty close to a free lunch.
- bamfly 3y agoBig advocate. They're awesome. Main downside is reversals are 1) another surgery—and maybe not covered by insurance—and 2) often fail. Not a great option if you do want kids, just not right now. I guess that's the not-a-free-lunch part. Excellent option if you are certain you're forever-done with having kids, though.
- nodogoto 3y agoChronic post-vasectomy pain syndrome negatively impacts quality of life in 1-2% of cases. Even a small chance of chronic pain should be weighed carefully against the benefits and alternatives.
