Title: Insurance that will cover my child support in the event of sterlization failure?
Post by: Futurist on January 30, 2016, 03:07:13 PM
Since some people (both here and elsewhere) have suggested that an orchiectomy for sterilization purposes* is extreme, I have decided to ask about this scenario here:

If I will get rid of both my entire vas deferens and my entire epididymis, then will I be willing to find insurance which will cost less than $300-$400 per year and which will pay all of my child support costs for me in the event that my vas deferens and epididymis will grow back?

Also, if so, then can some (idiotic) court(s) strike down such an insurance contract on grounds of public policy? After all, an (idiotic) court can argue that having an insurance company pay my child support for me in the event of sterilization failure could be traumatic to this child. (Indeed, I think that a similar argument was previously used by some people to justify their opposition to having courts award childcare costs to parents whose children were conceived as a result of a failed sterilization due to medical negligence.)

Anyway, can anyone here please try answering these questions of mine? :)

*While sterilization certainly isn't the only reason that I want to get an orchiectomy, it is nevertheless a large part of the reason for this desire of mine.

For the record, if this is allowed, I plan to show this thread to my insurance company after my planned orchiectomy (surgical castration) if my insurance will refuse to pay for the hormone replacement therapy of my choice. :)
