“Birth Control Researchers Can be a Real Pill”

Researchers are still trying to develop a birth control pill for men. Results are promising. So far, no men have given birth.

Women have had a drug to prevent conception for 50 years, but for centuries, there has been an effective drug to promote conception:. It’s called alcohol.

Researchers testing male contraceptives keep saying they are fast approaching ways to reduce sperm, but they don’t want to say how quickly they’re coming.

Last year in China, researchers found effective contraception for men in tests of a once-a-month hormone injection. The only question is, who wants to get poked by the Chinese?
