'Vasectomy' was broadcast as part of information magazine program called 'The Health Show.' The program deals with issues of personal health and medicine. The viewer response was twofold. There was unanimous praise for its innovation, creativity and imagery. However, the intellectual response was mixed. Some thought it was a brilliant way to illustrate men´s fears about vasectomies and to create a form of open dialogue about those fears. Others felt that it would set the movement of male sterilization back a hundred years and keep the onus on women to have tubal ligations. Judging from the viewer response, it was clear that gender was a dividing line for options.
