14. I got it done at 18

Medical reasons, and I never regretted it after full recovery. Of course, there was the pain in my dorm room of changing my bandages, and screaming at my Jewish roommate (who was also a close friend since junior high school) that he was lucky to have been born into a religion who knew enough to do this at the right time!

Because I assumed that my sons would be possible heirs to the same medical condition, their mother and I made the decision to have it done for them by a trained doctor before they left the hospital. The doctor didn't like the idea, but he had taken a special class since med school on it, because he figured that he'd be asked, and wanted to be able to do it properly.

While I would never want the procedure to become coercive, I can see offering the same incentives for it that an overpopulated country would do for vasectomy.
