Scientists Develop "The Pill" For Men

Scientists have discovered a substance that can temporarily block the development of sperm without altering testosterone levels and without causing unwanted side effects. They hope human trials of a new contraceptive for men based on their discovery could begin within a few years. Other versions of the ‘male Pill’ are already in development but work by altering hormone levels in the man’s body. In trials so far these have produced no worrying side effects - however scientists think men may still worry about whether introducing female hormones could harm their virility in some way. “

The State Of . . . The Male “Pill.” What will they think of next? No way I’d ever take a contraceptive pill. I’d think long and hard about it if I were a woman, too.
