The 1970s saw a dramatic rise in vasectomy popularity driven by fears of a "population bomb" and resource depletion popularized by Paul Ehrlich and the Club of Rome. Reports from the era indicate that many young men underwent the procedure due to alarmist media coverage regarding the year 2000. However, the trend eventually declined as physicians became wary of potential legal liabilities related to the procedure's aftereffects.
