I’m no expert, but my guess is no because they likely have the same chemicals on the surface as any other of your own cells, so there’s nothing to target.
Why not a vasectomy? Mine was easy and mostly covered by normal insurance (in the USA).
The reason why people get cancer 15 years or so after a vasectomy is because there is no place for anything to go and it gets absorbed back into your body… and the chance of having cancer cells absorbed increases… or something
Looks like studies are inconclusive on that and even when they show an effect it is a small increase of a low base rate. Also your proposed mechanism doesn’t make sense because the increase if it exists is for prostate cancer, not testicular.
But… it has no place to go… so the fluid that is made in the prostate doesn’t go anywhere… I could be wrong and my info is probably outdated by years… but that was my understanding…
Can they make a mRNA-based vaccine that targets my sperm?

My wife wants another kid but our girlfriend doesn’t.
Oh. Maybe freeze some, then snip.
Or just rely on condoms, abortion, etc.
