Men in the United States could be interested in male contraceptives, but options are limited. However, scientists at the Salk Institute in La Jolla may have discovered a new method for male birth control, and their initial tests in mice show the drug to be quite successful. In the groundbreaking study, scientists at the Salk Institute announced promising results in the quest for a male birth control method. The study, conducted in mice, has identified a new drug target that could lead to the development of a non-hormonal and reversible contraceptive for men. "So, I think it's about time. It's about time to put all the burden off females in the socio-economic point, and also social equality or also keep a control to the man," said lead researcher, Suk-Hyun Hong.
