They should be offered the opportunity to freeze their sperm at no cost if they have the vasectomy, as an insurance policy. Then the risk is null.

    Freezing only lasts 10 years. I know because I have it.

    So they can extend it but the quality will be reduced and likely I won't be able to have kids. It was already pretty shot due to surgical trauma. Likely I just won't be able to sire children.

    Probably best for the world in that case
