The capacity to procreate is merely a potential which man is not obligated to actualize. The choice to have children or not is morally optional. Nature endows man with a variety of potentials — and it is his mind that must decide which capacities he chooses to exercise, according to his own hierarchy of rational goals and values.
The mere fact that man has the capacity to kill, does not mean that it is his duty to become a murderer; in the same way, the mere fact that man has the capacity to procreate, does not mean that it is his duty to commit spiritual suicide by making procreation his primary goal and turning himself into a stud-farm animaL.
To an animal, the rearing of its young is a matter of temporary cycles. To man, it is a lifelong responsibility — a grave responsibility that must not be undertaken causelessly, thoughtlessly or accidentally.
In regard to the moral aspects of birth control, the primary right involved is not the "right" of an unborn child, nor of the family, nor of society, nor of God. The primary right is one which — in today's public clamor on the subject — few, if any, voices have had the courage to uphold: the right of man and woman to their own life and happiness — the right not to be regarded as the means to any end.
Basil Venitis asserts you own your body and your soul, and nobody should dictate what you take in and what you take out. Speech, education, heresy, habeas corpus, military service, mating, healthcare, abortion, cloning, drugs, guns, and euthanasia should be personal choices.
Venitis asserts the best way to save the environment is vasectomy. Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure where the two sperm tubes of a man are cut and tied, preventing sperm from entering the seminal stream. Deadly viruses are Gaia's antibiotics against the cancer of overpopulation. When Venitis was born in 1945, there were only two billion people on Earth, but now there are six and a half billion people. Within just half century, the human population has tripled! Venitis has done his duty to mother Gaia, he had vasectomy when he was only 25 years old, and he never regretted!
