This seems like a drastic decision. I’m sure you’ve thought it through, but be extremely sure. You could meet your dream woman next year, and she’s 30 and wants to have a child. It’s hard to be sure your feelings won’t change with the right person.

You are right and it's a decision that I've struggled with for years. The thing is it's not just a personal decision. My genes are fairly faulty, even at 35 I've suffered from asthma, high blood pressure (hereditary) and off and on hemorrhoids. My family also has a history of diabetes that I have to really watch out for as well.

Simply put, I don't think I'd want to pass on my genes to the next generation. My genes probably do need to die with me.

I figure if I did change my mind about kids I could also try for the reversal surgery or we could always go the adoption route as well.
