TRIALS of a revolutionary ‘switch-on/off’ contraceptive could begin in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand as early as next year and the company is looking for men aged 25-65 to take part.
It aims to significantly reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies in the UK, which currently stands at nearly half of all pregnancies, with 36% resulting in abortion.
Globally, there are 121 million unintended pregnancies each year, with 61% ending in abortion.
