No they are part of your immune system. Part of your lymphatic system to be specific. They are a good part, but unfortunately sometimes they become infected and become more trouble and have to be removed. In my case that happened. I was 27. Mine were filled with pus and exudate. They had to come out. They had a resistant infection that would not respond to antibiotics. I feel better they can cut off our airway if we do not get them out sometimes because they become so swollen.
If they are not causing a problem they are good to keep.

Tonsils are a filter gland. many doctors believe they don't do anything.

No, and they normally don't collect sperm. If there were separate points given for the most hilarious answers, that one would get 10 points.

No!
They're essentially lymph nodes.
