Hi, guys —
I am 27-years-old and have been married for five years. We also have
three children.
Shortly after our first daughter was born,
my wife started having small seizures and finally, after nearly
dropping our newborn, she went to the doctor and was diagnosed
with a type of epilepsy.
She was put on a medicine that worked
well but, after our second daughter was born 15 months later,
her seizures returned. They [the seizures] remained small and
an increase in her medicine helped for a while. After our son
was born, 21 months later, her seizures again returned.
The
doctor could not increase her medicine but added another medication
that has worked well. This medication has risks of birth defects
and her doctor has advised against having more children. My
wife and I were thinking of having more children, later on,
until this happened.
My question is this:
- In a situation like this, would it be OK to have a vasectomy?
I know the Church is against any type of birth control and
I agree but we worry about her seizures returning and the possible
birth defects.
Thank you,
Will
