Thanks, Chris. The problem with the vasclip is that
sperm will still be getting produced and will build up
in the testes, leading to eventual testicle rupture
and the painful complications that follow. So while
the vasclip is a nice idea, it still is not a real
alternative to a reversible and low-risk male
contraceptive technique (which we are still waiting
on...).
The "male pill" is (supposedly) due out in 2005.
Clinical trials are currently underway. So, let's
just hang on and see what happens... 2 more years to
go...

I stumbled across your site, and have read thru the
posts here, and
articles on the .org url. Very nice. It seems that the
main focus
here is reversable male techniques, so I'm not sure if
this would
necessarily be of interest, but there is another
company that I had
seen on the news nearly a year ago that is doing work
in furthuring
the options avaliable. Their site is www.vasclip.com
Just an FYI, and keep up the good work.
Chris
