JQ1, the 'male pill', reduces spermatogenesis by the activation of a biochemical pathway that does not effect the level of males hormones such as testosterone or androsterone. Trials that have been carried out on mice note that sperm reduction was rapidly decreased and any sperm that was produced were 'poor swimmers' and therefore dysfunctional. Other observations that were noted were that once the mice were taken off JQ1, their fertility was not affected and they were able to produce healthy offspring. The animal trial, labelled a success, will be followed by human trials once approval is given.
Possible points for discussion:
1) Do you think the marketing of JQ1, if human trials are also successful, will reduce the burden and responsibility placed on women to find contraception methods (due to limited male contraception options)?
2) If you are a man, would you take this drug as a contraceptive?
3) Do you think there will be social or religious opposition?
The female one needs to be outlawed, because it is putting synthetic estrogen, of a kind that can't be filtered out, into the water supplies. It is ruining all life that drinks and bathes in that water, including humans. Men in highly affected areas are feminizing, and getting sterile.
What
is the male pill? The female one makes you think you're pregnant. Is the male one a sterilizing agent? Yes. If you add that into the water supply, you'll kill off entire human populations, without consent. If it just had risk of permanently sterilizing the person taking it, that'd be a lot less unethical... But, these kinds of drugs affect the entire planet. (All water systems are interconnected.) These types of drugs need to be outlawed.
You should not trust drug companies that try to sell you drugs they claim will magic away the consequences of your actions. It's obvious quackery.
