This Male Birth Control Pill has Just Been Shown Safe in Humans for the First Time:

For years, scientists have been trying to develop a safe and effective version of the pill for men, and a new drug candidate could be the contraceptive we've been looking for.

This week, scientists in the US announced that an experimental oral drug called 11-beta-MNTDC looks to be safe and tolerable, based on results from a phase 1 clinical trial involving 40 men.

"Our results suggest that this pill, which combines two hormonal activities in one, will decrease sperm production while preserving libido," says male reproduction biologist Christina Wang from the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed).

[...] 11-beta-MNTDC is a modified form of testosterone with both progestational (in effect, sperm-blocking) and androgenic (hormone-balancing) characteristics.

Before you get your hopes up too much, this was strictly a test for toleration; further studies are required to test efficacy.

    The side effects might include permanent emasculation after using the pill for a period of time, exactly what the khazar jewish rats designed it for. They paid money so non-jewish men can be emasculated and unable to have children, or these effect appearing in their children if and when they do have chilren. Also, the pills will end up in the environment, poisoning all living beings whether they want to be part of it or not.

    One can almost bet the khazar jews will make a law so it cannot be used by israeli khazar jewish rats.
