Baylor College of Medicine Team Identifies Potential Birth Control Pill for Men

Does the world have an over-population problem? While concern in many nations in Europe and even China that these economies face a labor shortage due to the lack of new families and children, other groups ponder grow generally at a 2.6-fold pace in the last 60 years. And in the aggregate, the population surge continues &ndash; projections indicate that the number of people living on Earth will grow to 9 billion by 2037 from 8 billion in 2022. These growth figures point to the need for considering family planning according to one paradigm. Yet, there have been limited breakthroughs in contraception in recent decades. Specifically for men, there are no oral contraceptive pills available. But that might be changing. 
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine recently had their study published in the journal&nbsp;Science, demonstrating in animal models that a novel, non-hormonal sperm-specific approach offers a promising option for reversible human male contraception.
