Men in Sydney, Australia will be among the first in the world to try a new contraceptive giving them control over their own fertility.
ANZAC Research Institute at Concord Hospital has begun testing a new twice-monthly male contraceptive injection.
It works exactly like the female contraceptive pill by shutting down the reproductive function.
The contraceptive tricks the brain into thinking it has already produced sperm and does not affect men’s sexuality.
Earlier studies have found the injection works in 95 percent of men and grants users to become fully fertile within three month of stopping the injections.
Sydney is one of 10 centers, including Melbourne’s Prince Henry Institute, to take part in the worldwide trial.
Lead researcher Rob McLachlan stated the treatment kept men’s testosterone levels normal while the hormone progestin fooled the brain into not producing hormones needed to stimulate sperm production.

CHICAGO, March 7, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) A world leader in cancer causes and prevention has warned that the so-called birth control pill is the largest unregulated human trial thats ever been conducted.
Dr. Sam Epstein, author of Cancer-Gate: How to Win the Losing Cancer War and Professor of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at the School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago, told the CBCs Marketplace that exposure to the hormones estrogen and progestin, as found in the pill, increase breast cancer risk.
Marketplace author Wendy Mesley, herself a breast cancer survivor, explained that the World Health Organizations International Bureau for Research on Cancer last year re-classified hormonal contraceptives as carcinogenic to humans.
Dr. Chris Kahlenborn, M.D. demonstrated that a woman who takes birth control pills before her first child is born has at least a 40 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer and a woman who has taken the pill for four or more years prior to the birth of her first child has a 72 percent risk bourgeois in developing breast cancer. Dr. Kahlenborns book, Breast cancer: Its link to abortion and the birth control pill, published by One More Soul, is based on six years of study and a meticulous analysis of hundreds of scientific papers and other sources.
A European study, which looked at 103,000 women aged between 30 and 49 in Norway and Sweden found the risk of developing breast cancer rose by 26% for women who had taken the pill over those who had never used it. Moreover, women who had used the pill for long periods of time increased their risk of breast cancer by 58%. The study also found that women over 45 still using the pill had an increased risk of 144%.
The British Medical Journal revealed that the pill increases a womans risk of developing cerebrovascular disease by 1.9 times while increasing the tendency to cervical cancer by 2.5 times. The 25 year follow-up study with 46,000 British women also noted that the enhanced risk of death lasts for 10 years after women have stopped taking the pill.
