I don't see why. The vas deferans would be there at birth. I don't know of any feedback that would make this an issue.
There are no documented cases of successful, legal vasectomies being performed on someone younger than 18.Jul 30, 2021
Consent issues arise when such a medical procedure is preformed before the age of consent. The kind of enlargement that occurs in regular growth and at puberty is at a scope and scale that makes events less predictable. A percentage of vasectomies at birth would fail and the possibility of reversal may be further limited. Viewing the current state of technology and its trajectory of improvement is the thing to base legislation on.
