Doctors are on the cusp of launching the first new male contraceptive in more than a century. But rather than a Big Pharma lab, the breakthrough is emerging from a university startup in the heart of rural India.
Years of human trials on the injectable, sperm-zapping product are coming to an end, and researchers are preparing to submit it for regulatory approval. Results so far show it's safe, effective and easy to use-but gaining little traction with drugmakers. That's frustrating its inventor, who says his technique could play a crucial role in condom-averse populations.octors are on the cusp of launching the first new male contraceptive in more than a century. But rather than a Big Pharma lab, the breakthrough is emerging from a university startup in the heart of rural India.
But, the pharma companies won't touch it, because it would cost them profits. I say you make it a law that males have to have the shot when they enter puberty. When they want the treatment reversed, they have to sign a legally binding document stating that they agree to be financially liable for any child they might have, regardless of whether they thought their partner was on birth control or not.
It is about time we forced men to take responsibility for real, instead of think men with multiple partners are studs and women who get an unwanted pregnancy are 'at fault'.
Damn these misogynists!
