Is it immoral for humans to intentionally and willfully try to permanently alter their sexual reproductive system due to vasectomy or tubal ligation?

I was just curious what your views are on people who intentionally want to forgo the possibility of having children due to vasectomies or tubal ligations!

I am not taking about temporarily delaying this possibility due to contraception usage like condoms and birth control pills or things of that nature. Some people even see this form of birth control as immoral.

What are your beliefs? Is any form of birth control other than abstinence immoral in your views? If temporary delays of birth control is okay with you, are you drawing the line at permanent methods like vasectomies or tubal ligations where it is going to the extreme by having surgery to your body?

Some people think this is playing God as is it saying I will dictate how my sexual fruit or lack thereof will be during my sexual intercourse. Are you among this or do you take a different stance? Of course, permanently altering your sexual reproductive system will get more negative views than a temporary altering or delay.

Are you for temporary methods but against permanent methods? If so, explain thoroughly why! Please share your top views concerning permanently altering and willfully trying to prevent having children!

  • It's fine. I would rather more people get sterilized via vasectomy/tubal ligation/salpingectomy than have people who don't want to get pregnant/have kids/etc wind up with accidental pregnancies they now have to figure out what to do with.
    And honestly? The surgeries are not a big deal. It sounds scary because it's surgery but It's really totally fine and extremely minimal. You aren't even knocked out for a vasectomy. People go back to work the same day of the procedure. For a tubal ligation or a salpingectomy l you are out for the procedure but they only make two or three (depending on the procedure) tiny incisions less than half an inch long. And one you won't even see because it's in your belly button.
    Obviously deciding to be sterilized is not something to be taken lightly and you need to be sure that you won't change your mind. But I don't want people to be scared of it or demonize it when it's a very simple, very effective form of birth control.

    • You can't accidentally get pregnant. If you get pregnant, it was intentional unless raped.

    • If I'm having sex and using birth control and it fails, that's an accidental pregnancy because I wasn't intending for a pregnancy to happen. But I don't ever have to worry about that again, because I WAS sterilized a few months ago

    • Okay so how about this. Would you rather someone get sterilized because they want to have sex without getting pregnant, or remain fertile and get an abortion if they became pregnant?

  • Preventing impregnation through surgical, chemical, or barrier methods is no more playing God then attempting to create a child or abstaining from sex is.

    If interfering with the process in one way is playing God then it would be the same for anyway that procreation is prevented.

    And if making sure that you don't have kids is playing God then so is attempting to have them because you are trying to control and cause what the other people are trying to prevent.

    and I don't find any of it immoral.

    • Bit it is different. You are using the sex in a way that goes against its result. In abstaining from sex, you aren't.

    • In abstaining from sex you are failing to use your sexual organs for their intended purpose. You are resisting the natural order of procreation to maintain the species.

    • You can't have sex non stop. We have to eat and sleep too. Some people actually do have double digits in number of children.

  • I say it's intent. If their doing it becuas they just want sex and no kids, then yes, it's immoral. If they want to just get it done because they just don't want kids in general then I don't believe it should be immoral. Some people may need it for health reasons. Anything you do that is not naturally done by God can have negative affects on the body. But some may need it. I believe the ultimate decision maker should be God himself. I don't agree with birth control at all. But some may need it for again, health reasons. I know of people who had it done.

    • Can't vote because the best answer would be other.

    • Yeah, I should have said if they permanently do it because they want to have sex and not have children.

  • No birth control or sterilization is immoral. But it is wrong to have a kid you don’t want or aren’t prepared to care for because you were unwilling to take appropriate precautions.

    • Some people see it as immoral. I doubt even 5% would say it is though. Some people think the only moral birth control option is abstinence.

    • It seems like they did want the child. They know by having sex that having a child is a possibility. If they really didn't want a baby, they'd make 100% guarantee against it by avoiding sexual intercourse. They really want to minimize their chances of having a baby is what it is by using those methods.

    • People don’t always intend to conceive even if it is a risk that comes with sex, and there’s still a risk even with birth control or sterilization. These methods are not effective every time.

  • I think that people should decide themselves if they want to be fertile or not. A sterilization is a personal choice. No 'moral' judgement is accepted from anyone is this regard other then myself. I'm walking on planet earth, it's my own decision if I want to spread my genes or not, not the decision of some deity or moral code of others.

    • I was told it is only immoral if you force it on others to get it or if others force you to get it.

  • How would it be immoral? It's a person's own personal choice to do so. It's one thing if they did this and didn't tell their partner who wanted a kid, then it would be a waste of time for the partner

    • Just because things are personal choices doesn't automatically makes it a moral action. People are make a choice to drink water until they die. It doesn't make it moral. You know what the moral objections are. That it could be playing God.

  • There is no such thing as an omnipotent, omnipresent, sentient entity that micromanages your life in exchange for your unquestionable devotion to it. Stop making important life decisions on such a silly idea.

    • Give me proof that God's existence is impossible or you are dishonest. If you can't prove a negative, then quit using a negative. Or I will remove your replies as you are just doing so to stir up trouble.

    • Also, answer the question that was asked and quit spurring off about the details.

    • Logic doesn't work that way. It's your burden to support the claim a god does exist, not the other way around. I will at least agree that it is not impossible, but it's also not impossible that there really is a wizarding world and Hogwarts academy hidden among us... but I highly doubt it. And just because someone wrote a book about it a long time ago doesn't make it true.

  • It's a hard place to comment to right now... Everything is too new. I feel like there is something about embracing how you were born but then how do you explain both sexual organs in one person and then is surgery ok...

  • Why would it in any way be immoral?

    • Because it seems to be playing God. Almost like that of people getting sex changes. It is showing that you'll design your sexual activity in a way that will never make your sexual reproductive system do its job. That is how it can be immoral. It is not foolish that it is plausible it can be immoral. Most people want to be in control anyways.

    • I never said it was immoral but if it was to be immoral, that's the grounds and basis on how it would be immoral. Get my drift?

    • By the same argument you could say that taking medication is immoral. Why does religion come into it? Morality can be entirely independent from it

  • I think it would frowned upon by the highest power. However our world population is getting to the point where there won't be enough resources to support them

  • I don't see why it would be. You aren't hurting anyone else and we already have a surplus of children that nobody wants. Also we don't all have good genes that are worth passing down to future generations.

  • Um... no. Why would it be.

    • Because you are willfully mocking God is what some would say. He placed our sexual reproductive system in us and for us to willfully alter it would be playing God according to the majority of m=remnant Christians.

    • That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Well done.

    • Just because you think it is doesn't mean others do.
