Thanks for being so rhetorical SoSick,
If you were given the message that castration were an acceptable behavior, an appropriate form of birth conrol since age 7, chances are excellent you would accept it and perhaps even engage in it.
Vasectomy is a viable form of birth control, and it can have many side benefits as well as some sever complications. Any surgical procedure can have complications.
Therefore, castration is a safer form of birth control.
It - birth control - is also completely irrelevant to the question of the definition of human life. Are you equating abortion with birth control? Some people have to have them or suffer drastic consequences -- whether they want ot or not -- and it would be cruel to accuse them of just engaging in birth control when they are in the middle of making a difficult decision.
who cares about empty pregnancy 'sacs'. they don't do anything, they don't grow, they don't show up on ultrasound as babies, they don't get a mulit-week age date by an ob-gyn.
Some people must, for if you define human life by conception then you would have to be a vitally concerned about them as any other product of conception.
However, I'm glad to see that you agree that they are not human life (and that therefore human life is not defined by conception).
I don't know whether to just say duh or duh.
Don't let me stop you.
Enjoy.
