The Contraception Pioneers It's time to give these researchers their due.

It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that unprotected sex leads to babies. It does, however, take one to figure out how hormones in a 3-inch adhesive patch will cross layers of skin, muscle, and blood vessels before tweaking chemicals in the brain and ovaries to prevent pregnancy. For these contraceptive researchers, there's no real fame to be had, and the pay is just so-so. But after decades of struggling to win support from the scientific community, they've re-established themselves as dedicated to a deserving craft with impressive developments that redefine conventional birth control.

Wow, I sure am glad these people did this research and came up with the stuff they have. But I now better understand why they haven't come even further. I've been wondering when they are going to come up with a shot for female dogs to avoid pregnancy, or a pill or shot that would allow adoptive moms or grandmothers to breastfeed? Apparently unless it will make a pharmaceutical immediate profit /return, it won't happen.
