Male Birth Control - A Useless Invention
This caught my eye today. I do not understand why scientists waste their time researching a birth control pill for men. It won't work. Female birth control is very time sensitive and must be taken at around the same time everyday. Most women are very diligent about taking their birth control because they have a lot at stake and the odds are against them if they are lax about it. Although the male version might not be as time sensitive, men have little to lose (except 20% of their paycheck in some jurisdictions). In many cases a man can father a child and be totally unaware of the existence of his offspring. I can not imagine that men will want to take a pill everyday which most certainly will have ample side effects. Furthermore, there will be some (dumb) women out there who will rely on the men's diligence in taking the pill that they will neglect their own. Doctors already have a method in enabling male infertility - it's called a vasectomy. I say let the scientists find a cure for cancer and leave the birthcontrolling up to the women.
I am predicting that if a male birth control pill hits the market the birth rate in this country is going to spike.
