Injections Can Sterilize Men for Ten Years

June 2nd, 2011
You can almost tell who’s name is going to come up in a story like this.
Via: Wired:
Ever since the birth control pill was approved by the FDA in 1960, scientists in the West have been looking for a male equivalent. It’s been a rocky road, in part for biological reasons: Hormonally, it’s much easier to control a single monthly event like ovulation than to try to stop the endless onslaught of sperm.
An equivalent “pill” for men would somehow have to stop sperm production without neutralizing their libido or erectile function. Pharmaceutical companies and government agencies have sunk millions into hormone-based contraceptive research that has yielded few viable products.
And then there’s RISUG. Rather than shutting down sperm production, with the potential side effects that entails, it acts more like a tollbooth on the sperm superhighway. As the negatively charged sperm pass by, they are essentially zapped by the positive charge of the SMA polymer. So a RISUG-injected man will still ejaculate millions of sperm, but most will be dead: tails snapped off, cell membranes ruptured.
As a contraceptive, RISUG faces a far more difficult road to approval and commercial acceptance than, say, a new antidepressant medication. While an antidepressant would be considered a success if it worked in 75 percent of patients, a contraceptive like RISUG will be compared to a conventional vasectomy, which works more than 99 percent of the time. Furthermore, it has to be free from the serious side effects that were common with early experimental hormone-based male contraceptives. And it cannot cause birth defects down the line—ever. “Nobody wants another thalidomide,” says Ron Weiss, the Canadian vasectomy doctor.
…
“If it’s no longer a crazy Indian idea and it’s something that’s working in India and in rabbits in Ohio and in the first 20 men in the US,” Lissner says, “then there’s got to be a point where there’s just no excuse for a Gates or a Buffett not to get on board.”
Just this past year, in fact, Guha received a $100,000 Gates Foundation grant to pursue a variation of RISUG in the fallopian tubes as a female contraceptive.

How abhorrent.

I remember in my TV watching days - on shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and Home Improvement - there were episodes whose plots revolved around the wife and mother demanding that the hen-pecked husband get a vasectomy.

The enemies of the human race. . .

Hen-pecked husband... well said.

Excellent point.

This is not a tangential remark. It is centrally pertinent to the discussion because it shows how the media has brainwashed the populace to regard contraception as acceptable, necessary and/or preferable.

It is an attack upon the sanctity of Holy Matrimony and the Christian household, and it is a gross attempt to destroy that for which men and women unite in nuptial bonds: parenthood. It is an attack upon the most basic, most natural of human instincts.

The denial of paternity by means of contraceptives for motives of hedonistic "convenience" entails the construct of mutilated masculinity that liberal feminism ultimately seeks. It is not enough that the female body is ruined by abortion, immorality, contraceptives, &c., but the male body must also share in this ruin, because the anti-Christian ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic agenda wishes to blasphemously replicate the scene in Genesis wherein Eve brings upon herself and lures Adam to transgress the divine command, which brings about the curse of original sin and expulsion from Paradise.

It is as Stevus says, "self-hate and ѕυιcιdє," because these people cannot love God by reason of their spiritual blindness caused by their naturalistic egocentricity: if you can't love God, you can't love yourself properly (by exercise of the virtues that will enable one to attain to eternal happiness) or others (by helping them to attain to the same goal). Like a crazed Nero playing the harp as Rome burned, these people are celebrating what is really the destruction of the human race, and, ultimately, their own reprobation.

Amazing post.
