Voluntarily Infertile

Three men who underwent vasectomies comment on their reasons for the procedure. Many children, convenient contraception, and the decision to live without children. These are purely human reasons, even if controversial for some. The topic of voluntary male infertility is still taboo in Czech society; vasectomies have only been legal here for 11 years, but the number of procedures is increasing every year. Andrologist Lukáš Bittner, biologist Stanislav Komárek, and gynecologist Helena Máslová have different opinions on the subject. Should we be afraid that men will voluntarily become infertile, or is this a modern method of contraception that does not leave this burden solely on women?
