New Super Pill Could Eliminate Periods, PMS, and Reduce Cancer Risks

Only one side effect: women taking it will become sexually insatiable and grow enormous cans.

I was born at the wrong time. Fifty, sixty years from now. That's when I would have like to have been born.

A contraceptive pill that may reduce the risk of breast cancer and heart disease and eliminate periods could be available within the next five to 10 years.

Scientists believe the development could transform the lives of millions of women and would be safer than current forms of oral contraception, which carry a higher risk of breast cancer and heart problems.

The new Pill could also bring an end to the problem of premenstrual syndrome and other painful gynaecological conditions such as endometriosis.

But experts warned that progress on developing the new contraceptive is being hampered by political pressure from pro-life groups and the Bush administration in the US, who object to the fact it works in the same way as the so-called abortion pill.

...

The new Pill also stops periods altogether, in contrast to the current versions which mimic menstruation with bleeding each month.

A world without periods.

Science.
