Toni Vernelli, 27, got herself sterilized because she wanted to save the planet!
At the age of 27 this young woman at the height of her reproductive years was sterilised to "protect the planet".
Incredibly, instead of mourning the loss of a family that never was, her boyfriend (now husband) presented her with a congratulations card.
While some might think it strange to celebrate the reversal of nature and denial of motherhood, Toni relishes her decision with an almost religious zeal.
"Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet," says Toni, 35.
"Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population."
While most parents view their children as the ultimate miracle of nature, Toni seems to see them as a sinister threat to the future.

A bit extreme in my opinion, but what's your take on it? Did Toni do the right thing?
on earth..no on else is trying
too save the earth so why
would it matter what one person is
trying to do..kids do matter & always will
And I also agree with this woman's choice, except that i think it's to late : why should we care about a planet we already fucked up ? So I act like a good christian and act as God asked to me, and i'm taking the life out of this damn earth because I am human, and only me and my siblings deserve to suck it dry. So, my new opinion is : why not doing as much as kids as possible then ?
The first comment was right : "Only stupid people are breeding."
After reading these comments, I'd certainly think twice about bringing a child into a world that's filled with such cruel people.
