Doing it without asking questions at all, is something that shouldn't happen. Maybe unethical is the wrong word.

I think as a doctor the only concern he should (and isn't it legally unless you are mentally unfit?) have is if you want the procedure.
Not really sure what would be the point of asking if the wife is on board or not if the dude doesn't want kids he doesn't want kids.

That seems unethical and wrong.
If a doctor asks if the wife is on board in consult I guess that is fine but after the answer is given that should be it.
I don't imagine a wife gives permission for her husband to have heart surgery.
