You can have it reversed within ~6 years and regain a high percentage of fertility. You also have the option of storing semen for later in a sperm bank.

You have options. Sperm quality also degrades over the lifetime of the man, so saving some from your earlier years may have less chance of genetic defects.

No responsible doctor will recommend you get a vasectomy under the assumption that you'll be able to reverse it if you change your mind.

It is not meant to be reversed. You should only do it with the expectation that it's permanent; it's supposed to be permanent.
