question asked in a recent letter to the editor on the policy of it seems that Young in some Hospi Are being discriminated against that Boring word in a world of rising Low wages and the working Long Range birth control is a must for Many Cou Ples and Many Are choosing i have two planned children and we had a hard time keeping it that going to the clinic for my six week Check after our second child was the main thing on my mind was birth i told the doctor that my husband and i had decided that he wanted a and i asked where we could have this was told that my husband was too Young and that we didst have enough children to fit the requirements at the Hospital at Laken the doctor told me that we would probably want other children never mind How we fell about after All we were adult enough to have children but not to decide against having the whole situation is almost humorous when you really think about i happened upon another doctor at the clinic and he told me that he did vasectomies right in our base he then inter viewed both my husband and me and realized that we had made the decision and meant i must admit that we were mature adults my husband had the opera Tion six weeks later As there was a six week waiting first first age and number of children should not be requirements for age and number of children should not be used to bump people off lists or feel that their need is any less important than someone else who has More children or has age on his Why must the military insist on think ing that some people Are better than others we Are All people 1 do wish things like this would be handled As on the first first served the military has done this in Why not on elec Tive sterilization in All hospitals and clinics that perform sterilization i can understand the concern of the couple whose letter appeared in they Are trying to live their life the Way they planned it and seem to be hitting their Heads against a Brick i know the feel the thought of worrying about preg Nancy for the next Twenty Odd years is a grim fact for Young i feel that the decision to have or not to have children is Between the people involved and that their decision be regarded As their own and treated with not a Pat on the rear or the runaround i feel that if More couples had this Way of permanent birth control Many of Thim would be better children Are great if you want them not All ecu Good example As an american dependent residing in Germany and area supervisor for a local charter i have had the Opportunity to visit and work at Many military beyond a the Wei Brincken a Community and facilities Are the Best i have not Only is the base neat and Well but the people Are extremely courteous and i have always gotten the feeling that the residents Are proud of their Community and delighted to Welcome it is a pleasure to visit there and i want to thank All of the air Force personnel for setting such a Good example for All of us and representing the United states to our european Jones Germany pies believe thai their life and relationship depends on having for that having More than one or More than two or in not putting Down Large families for those that want if i had the patience and tempera ment and we would have a Large but i dont have any of and we dont in that so Why should i subject my my children and a new baby to my inability to handle such a situation it Doest make sense in this Day and i think the military ought to make sterilization for both men and women available to All and that it should be brought out in the open and talked about with Cou Ples who ask about All forms of birth con sterilization is not a dirty word but one that can make life for some much More i suggest that couples seeking vasectomies look into having it done on the Economy if its not Loo expensive or wait until they get Back to the and have it done at a civilian clinic for a Small until keep trying at the hospitals where you Are stationed and maybe a Miracle will my thoughts Are with the Young couple and Hope that they will work it out some Marcia Hayden Raf England editors note Donald Safe command re plies we agree that couples must make their own decision As to the number of Chil Dren they this decision is a serious once they must decide which method of limiting their family they think is if their decision is a the physician who will perform this procedure must also we further agree that the military should make sterilization procedures available to authorized three problems May arise if the Deci Sion is for a first is the Avail ability of physician technically capable of performing this it must not be against his moral or religious and very the patient must be counselled to insure that be gives an informed Hie physician has an ethical and medi Callegan responsibility to insure that the patient fully understands the ramifications of any surgical procedure in this it must be fully understood thai for All practical purposes the pm Dure is irreversible and that it is a serious Deci Sion on the part of the the couple should understand that their relationship May unpredictably bumping patients in line for elective surgery is it docs cur
