What is the age requirement for a Vasectomy? I am 18 years old.
I understand what most any doctor would say, "you're too young and your brain isn't developed', but i know i don't want children ever. Can doctors perform vasectomies on 18 year olds?

As long as there is an informed consent, yes.

The only requirement to having a vasectomy is to to be a consenting adult. However, I think you would have a hard time finding an experienced doctor to perform the procedure on a teenager without a valid medical reason. While everyone should respect your view of parenthood, adult life is just beginning for you. I too was convinced that I never wanted children but thankfully, I had a child at age 35.
