Re #165: I've always found the "no male birth control pill" argument
to be pretty un-persuasive.  Leaving aside that there is such a pill
in development, it's hardly surprising that the mechanics of stopping
the release of 1 egg (for which there is already an existing hormonal
trigger, activated during pregnancy) is simpler than the mechanics of
stopping the production of zillions of sperm, for which there is not
such an obvious trigger available.  But the trial results I've seen
indicate that the male BCP is pretty darned effective.
