Drug addict the first men in Britain paid to have vasectomy

Drug addict the first men in Britain paid to have vasectomy

The wow factor stands out from the article's title, and any normal person who has curiosity like me would definitely click in and see why on earth there will be someone to get paid to have vasectomy.

The whole drama starts from an organization that protect children from drug addict parents. I understand what drug addict parents can do to harm their children, but taking people's right away from having their own children is not ethical and not acceptable at all in my opinion. And the fact that the organization paid about $320 for that man to get the surgery done is ridiculous, and the man even explained and said that is something he has always wanted to do, I mean alright, you don't want to have kids, but getting the surgery done means you don't need a condom to have sex and which means the risk of getting and spreading aids is raised! Has the organization thought about that? Pushing people to have vasectomy doesn't solve any problems, and I indeed doubt if that is legal to buy a human right for a few hundred bucks. But for sure it is unethical.

Besides the title has the weirdness that provokes people's curiosity, there is nothing more that is valuable in this article. It is more like a tabloid news. It could have been written in a much stronger news angle, that can lead readers to think critically about this issue, whether it is correct or not for the organization to have done that. The fact that there are more than 20 people has shared this article on Facebook, the title should get all the credit for that.

  1. Im also doing world news stories and this also caught my eye straight away! It does seem slightly tabloid-ish, but I dont know, I think it could be a good scheme to prevent the births of drug addicted babies.

  2. Thank you for your comment!
    This birth preventing thing reminds me of the one child policy in China. Basically I think people shuld not decide whether other people should have the right to give birth to their own children or not, because it is a human right.
    But I agree that things should be done to protect Children from being harmed by their drug addict parents.
