Have been meaning to post this for ages, and it's come up on another thread so thought I'd start one.
I recently asked my GP how my dh would go about getting a vasectomy. She said he needed to make an appt with a particular doctor and that normally we would both need to be present to make sure that I consented, but as she'd spoken to me they would make a note and he could go alone.
On another thread someone has mentioned that she needed to give written consent as a condition of her dh being given the op.
I think it is absolutely disgraceful and deeply unethical that a mentally competant adult should need another person's permission to have an operation of any kind, let alone something like a vasectomy.

to think that a man shouldn't need to get his wife's/dp's permission to get a vasectomy?
