         | Put some semen in cryostorage [1] and get a vasectomy. ~$1000
         | all in, no oopsies, and your tissue quality is preserved at
         | your age of storage (with a small risk of loss of storage over
         | time).
         | 
         | The vasectomy alone is only a few hundred bucks (with
         | insurance; without, max cost is $1500) if having kids isn't
         | your thing, and widely available. I recommend it to everyone
         | who will listen (the cost of raising a child from birth to 18
         | is $233,610, per child [2]). Median lifetime earnings in the US
         | are $1.7 million [3].
