The scenario Document

The procedure is to be initiated at the age of 18 and continued for the next ten years.
  • The military plans to offer this treatment to future conscripts, who are required by law to enter military service as soon as they reach the age of majority. However, once initiated, the procedure has a high chance of inhibiting the reproductive system for the duration of the treatment. No lasting negative side effects have been found.
