Yes. It is wrong to non-consensually take away a human's ability to reproduce. As for the animal argument, well... it could be argued that by even owning a pet you are detaining an animal against its will though it has perpetrated no crime so taking away its reproductive ability is just an extension of that. Domesticating animals takes them out of their natural state and places them in a state of dependency on human beings for their survival. Is that not also wrong by that same logic? In ancient times, Kings would order members of their court to be castrated so they wouldn't impregnate concubines which could potentially taint bloodlines resulting in an illegitimate heir to the throne. These people were considered pets in a strange regard- the palace fed them and provided them with shelter. Just taking the argument a bit deeper... Side: it is wrong

I just don't want to add the feeling of being owned even more. And I don't think there is any better way in saying I own you by taking away parts of your body. Side: it is not wrong

I would say that it is wrong to remove a humans ability to reproduce in an irreversible, permanent way. If, on the other hand, we were to use a hypothetical procedure that is both reliable at sterilizing the individual as well as reliably reversible, there is some potential application for the idea- but I'm not aware of a procedure that fits the bill; vasectomy and tubal ligation don't cut it, as neither has a reliable success rate after any meaningful period of time has passed. Side: it is wrong
I agree with your statement. It would be great if an oral or injectible sterilization method (reliable) was available and would wear off over a given time unless administered again. This would be ideal...and great for birth control for young adults who want to have sex but do not want a child. Side: it is wrong

If the person wants to take away their ability to reproduce then nothing should be wrong with that. Particularly if you, as a woman, are tired of conceiving children. You should have the right to say "enough", and there should be nothing wrong with that. Side: it is not wrong
