Unkind snip outcry

TALK show host Rove McManus's plan to show a vasectomy live on TV has sparked outrage.
Australian Medical Association state president Dr Mark Yates said the show was trivialising a serious decision.
"If the decision is made in flippant circumstances and there is a requirement later for a reversal, that represents an awful waste of valuable resources," he said.
Family Association national vice-president Bill Muehlenberg said Channel 10 was "scraping the bottom of the barrel".
McManus said: "I'm very excited at the prospect of speaking live to someone undergoing something that would make the toughest Aussie bloke's eyes water."
The program on Tuesday will cross live to a Sydney clinic.
