@St_Rev@mr_archenemy do you have a link to that study -
@ElamBend@mr_archenemy Here's the first link I found: http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/Health-News/prostate-cancer-vasectomy-risk/2014/07/09/id/581694/ … -
@ElamBend@mr_archenemy cf in particular the third paragraph. A 1/60 chance of lethality for an elective procedure is "small". -
@ElamBend@mr_archenemy Sorry, I'm misstating that. I tweeted about this when the study came out, don't have the right numbers handy.
