From www.statesman.com article on new research to develop a birth control pill for men:
"The researchers plan to test about a half-million chemical compounds to find a pill that does not involve hormones that men could take weekly or monthly. They also hope to find something that is close to 100 percent effective and has no risky side effects."
Well, shit. How nice that they are committed to finding a safe and effectve pill for men. The article went on to say that hormone-based (i.e. testosterone) pills for men have been tested but there are concerns about elevated cholesterol and cancer growth. Hello, women have been taking the pill since the 1960s and no one seems to give a shit about the long-term side effects of that!! The largest uncontrolled experiment in history, I once heard it called.
