Reversible Contraceptive for Men Being Tested

	posted by Scott on Monday July 02, @11:17AM from the reproductive-rights dept.
	A recent National Post story describes a new form of male contraception that is as effective as a vasectomy but also reversible. A special implant is placed within the vas deferens tubes which blocks the sperm. The procedure for adding and removing the device is simple, and effectively creates a fully reversible vasectomy for its user. Initial safety clinical trials are beginning now, which will be followed by tests of the device's effectiveness.

More Control (Score:2) by Nightmist (nightmist@mensactivism.org) on Monday July 02, @11:53AM EST (#1) (User #187 Info) It is my hope that someday birth control for both men and women will become easier to administer, completely non-invasive, and completely reversible. Perhaps this is a step in the right direction. And it definitely sounds like men will finally be able to have control over our bodies similar to the control women now enjoy over theirs.
