Should Sterilisation be a Right?

Reyn

The Hungry Abyss
It's certainly a tricky issue.

On the one hand, "there's a significant risk that this procedure could kill you" is a far more compelling reason to deny somebody sterilisation than the much more common, "you might want children some day." On the other hand though, for a person to have bodily autonomy they also need the ability to do things that risk harming or even killing them.

I'm a bit hesitant to follow this line of thinking too far in this thread as it could quickly lead into a debate on the right to die. It's definitely an issue worthy of consideration though.

I support full bodily autonomy, starting at age 25, including the right to self delete.
