Maybe those jokes about the location of men's brains were correct after all...

Weintraub speculated that the disease may be triggered in part by antibodies formed in the blood of men who have vasectomies--during surgery the natural barrier designed to keep blood-born pathogens away from semen is breached, and sperm can enter the blood system. In 60 to 70 percent of cases, the body will react to the sperm as invasive and produce antibodies against it, which may then breach the blood-brain barrier and lead to the onset of PPA. Momma always said to think with the big head, not the little one...
I always thought that letting Your Boyz loose inside your own body might not be the brightest thing you could do.

It's interesting that something produced by your own body might cause you harm.

This is why no one should mess with their bodies. There are things in there that are not fully understood yet.
Taking/altering parts in it or mutilating it as if it were some kind of machine with each part dedicated to specific, discrete function, is bound to get people into trouble.
If it ain't broken, DON'T fix it.

I've never liked the idea of having a vasectomy, but I keep forgetting.

"...the body will react to the sperm as invasive and produce antibodies against it..." This has been known for many years. What is new here is the linking of it to a specific condition.
I'm not a medical person but how can they think that a procedure that doesn't stop the production of material but simply frustrates it's normal path can be a good idea?

Well I just gotta offer my two cents here.
Does anybody remember when the big thing was that vasectomies cause heart trouble?
Yeah, that was back in the 80's or thereabouts.
Come on. It seems like the entire world is out to prevent men from having vasectomies with these health lies.
Cause I don't believe it for a minute. Hey, I believed that heart thing too but it was bogus.
How comes you never hear about bad, bad things that happen to women who have their tubes tied?

It's interesting that something produced by your own body might cause you harm. Ask any woman. She'll tell you those little buggers are nothing but trouble.
When man starts messing with the design for his own convenience, it should not be at all surprising that bad things happen.

"...afflicted with PPA lose the ability to talk and understand speech, and gradually deteriorate in other areas of function until they are fully incapacitated." It's sort of like marriage?
To: cinives
I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to it.

I always felt that guys that had it snipped just weren't the same afterward. They seemed more feminine, moody, weak and lost their hair. But I chalked it up to them being married to women who were domineering, and they were just not strong willed men to begin with.
