Working women who survive breast cancer are far more likely to lose their jobs

As far as sterilizing, I’d agree that it’s done largely for the benefit of the population rather than the individual. There are significant medical benefits to spaying, and some to neutering, though, if I could directly ask the animals involved, they’d still likely rather take their chances with various cancers or a pyometra rather than having a surgery.

This reminded me that if you were to ask young children about the life-saving vaccinations their parents and doctor want them to get, I’m sure the reaction would be “no shots!!”

Responsible guardianship often means making difficult choices on their behalf.
