barryonash At the Cost of Only $1.oo; Sadly This Will Never be Allowed for Sale in the USA or Any Country Other than 3rd World Countries. Big Pharmaceutical Companies & Lobbyists Won't let this pass. This would take awsy Billions of Dollars from them in Normal Birth Control Sales.

BernZilla_5 OK. But can it be pressed into a dick and get the same results ?

Send it to Asia or UAE & make it mandatory

holyfieldln You forgot the bloodclots and strokes it can cause ... Dummies.

'Mark Prausnitz, a professor in the bioengineering program at George Tech who is helping lead the effort, said in a statement'. 39 million to Megyn Kelly and zero for proofreading.

TiannaDixie C’mon nbc if I skim the piece once and catch “George” Tech you should too.

Send 100 loads to Africa and 100 loads south of the border. Hurry the can’t stop mating. Oh yeah send some to Polosi family, we don’t need anymore crazy.

Should sell to countries that failed birth control long ago!

Start inventing this for MEN!!!

.... and for the men?

Send that shit to Africa immediately.

Women taking modern formulations of the pill have a 20 percent increased risk of breast cancer compared with those who've never been on hormonal contraception, the study of almost 2 million Danish women found.

How many women are going to have a stroke from this? Remember Yaz I do a 26 year old girl who was engaged to my son had a stroke from it 10 years ago. Working in healthcare I strongly suggest you avoid this patch!

Would be cool if a team who did this for women (who are fertile 5-7 days out of the month) could figure out how to do this for men (who are fertile all days of the month) and therefore a greater threat to causing unwanted pregancies.

Science marches forward in spite of the current anti-science, anti-truth administration in DC.

That's amazing, and good for them. But can they aim it at poor women in the United States as well?

What will Planned Parenthood do?!

YES. Thank you! In the era of GOPers' & MAGAts' constant barrage of attempts to take away women's reproductive rights or even the right to have reproductive healthcare covered by insurance, this is EXACTLY what we need. Women need a simple method that men can't control.

😂 a lot of angry right wing nut jobs guna be pissed 😂

As my Specialists Dr's tell me...They do not prescribe newly released meds for at least 2 years; due 2 the unknown that a controlled cohert could never discover. I have 5 University Deans of their respected departments treating me, & they all basically say the same. So b careful!

It'll never get approved in the U.S. No profit in it for the pharaceutical industry.

Abstinence.. Nature's birth control!

It costs a dollar. Still can't afford your own birth control Dems?

Oh the phony Christian Republicans will go nuts upon seeing this, but they'll be happy to use it.

developing countries and the usa where women's health decisions are legislated by men

How did they test it?

Changing Biology.. risky business
