Ultrasound As a Male Contraceptive
TeslaBoy writes "The BBC has an article about using ultrasound aimed at the testicles as a reversible male contraceptive. This can last for six months. With a grant of $100,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, researchers at the University of North Carolina will push ahead with more clinical trials, fine tuning, and safety tests."
Obviously *I* don't. But frankly, there isn't a man alive who understands or appreciates female PMT and the fact that there are *numerous* treatments available for this condition, *some* of which are effective at eliminating the condition completely, and women choose not to take them is, I think, more than sufficient reason for us to be disgusted, just as women are towards men who refuse to use deodorant, or as the majority of us are towards the mentally ill who refuse to stay on their meds.
The human condition is flawed and can be improved. Each of us has a responsibility to the rest of society to do what we can to make it a little more pleasant to be around each other, or risk being ostracized.
How we know is more important than what we know.
