Roughly half of all pregnancies worldwide aren’t planned. We can attribute this, at least partially, to the fact that half the species (ahem, women) bears most of the birth control burden. If men had access to a long-lasting contraception, researchers have projected, the rate of unplanned pregnancies would tumble. 全球有近半数的怀孕都是意外怀孕，我们可以认为造成这种情况的原因，或者至少部分原因是一半的人类（咳咳，女性）需要承担大部分的避孕责任。研究人员预计，如果能让男人长效避孕，意外怀孕的概率会骤降。 Now, Indian scientists claim they are getting closer to giving men such an option. Officials at the Indian Council of Medical Research say they’ve successfully completed clinical testing of the world’s first injectable male contraceptive, the Hindustan Times reported. 现在印度科学家声称已经快要实现给男人选择权的目标了。据《印度斯坦时报》报道，印度医学研究委员会的工作人员说他们已成功完成了世界首个可注射的男性避孕药的临床测试。 “The product is ready, with only regulatory approvals pending with [India’s drug regulator],” Radhey Shyam Sharma, a New Delhi reproductive biologist who leads the research, told the newspaper. “The product can safely be called the world’s first male contraceptive.” 此项研究负责人新德里生殖生物学家Radhey Shyam Sharma对该报纸说：“一切就绪，就等‘印度药品监管机构’的监管批准了。我们大可称它为全球首个男性避孕药。” |
