Masturbation for non fertile man
Would it be permissible for a man with no vas deferens, and therefore no sperm in his semen, to masturbate? Would it matter if it
As a parent of a child with hydrocephalus I would like to know if a first born baby boy with this condition is required to have a pidyon haben. I would also like to know if there are any other halachic issues we should be aware of? A response will be greatly appreciated.

1. If the baby does not suffer from extreme deformities that radically reduce his lifespan to several months – A Pidyon is required. If there are such extreme deformities, then one must contact a Rav personally.
See Nishmat Avraham , Vol. IV, Yore De'ah 305. and the attached correction note there.
2. Other Halachic issues depend on the exact medical situation. See Prof. A. Steinberg's Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics Vol. II (Feldheim Pub. Jerusalem 2003) pp. 738-739.
