The miracle of childbirth is something that expectant parents have been
celebrating with their loved ones since the beginning of time. But the
rampant narcissism of the modern age has bred an entirely new mindset
about having children that, at least in some circles, has made it a
celebratory occasion to not have them.
Instead of holding baby showers, members of this depraved subculture
are actually throwing parties when the men in their circles undergo
vasectomies, a procedure that sterilizes them and prevents them from
impregnating women. And rather than celebrate the creation of new life,
this death-cult celebrates being able to embrace a self-centered
lifestyle centered around boats, cars, and pleasure -- no children
allowed.
Some are calling it a sign of the times -- foregoing
children to live a lifestyle more suited to the rich and famous than to
the perpetuation of civilization.
But all in the name of fun, these folks would rather just live it up
and die, leaving nothing behind for future civilizations. And the worst
part is that these folks gleefully revel in this self-infatuated
fantasy.
One user on the popular Reddit bulletin site commented
to anti-baby supporters that the concept is "absolutely brilliant,"
while another added a congratulatory blessing that they have "a happy
childfree life. [sic]" Another user, a woman who apparently decided that
the "motherhood mandate" isn't for her, piped in that she came to the
realization that having children "wasn't the only possible narrative"
for her life.
"Our society is all about celebrating traditional milestones," Amy Blackstone, one of the site's bloggers and an apparent supporter of vasectomy parties, told The New York Post.
"You graduate, you get married, you have a child. But that's a very
narrow path and isn't indicative of many people's experiences."
Vasectomies destroy male reproductive ability for life
While many couples struggle to attain the level of fertility necessary to have children, attendees of vasectomy parties
seem to get a kick out of mutilating the male reproductive organs to
destroy their ability to procreate. In these people's minds, ending
their own gene pools is something to celebrate, so break out the cake
and champagne!
What many people fail to realize, though, is just how invasive the vasectomy
procedure actually is. A man's scrotum is first numbed with local
anesthesia, followed by a doctor going in and snipping his vas deferens,
the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis. The tube is
then reassembled with a blocked passageway, which neutralizes the
fertilizing potential of semen.
It's a procedure that's been
around for quite a while, and statistics show that it has a 99.9 percent
success rate. But a vasectomy is not without its potential
complications, including the possibility of bleeding, infection, or
worse -- serious conditions like a hematoma, sperm granuloma, congestive
epididymitis (post-vasectomy pain syndrome), antisperm antibody
formation, and psychogenic impotence.
And while it's widely
claimed that vasectomies have no effect on a man's hormonal profile,
there's plenty of evidence to the contrary. Dr. R. F. Raspa, who
published a 1993 paper on the complications associated with the
vasectomy procedure, wrote that in addition to hormonal and
immunological changes, vasectomies are associated with prostate,
testicular, and other forms of cancer, as well as kidney stones.
"Often, the possibility of these types of problems was not disclosed beforehand, despite decades of research in medical literature
demonstrating numerous complications," says Kevin Hauber, founder and
authors of "If It Works, Don't Fix It! What Every Man Should Know BEFORE
Having a Vasectomy."
"This can lead to a desperate, painful, and lonely situation for a man and his family."
