	about seven (7) years ago, in Quebec Canada, there was a
general announcement on television about a group of men who had
volunteered for the human testing of a ``male pill''. this hormone was
reported to have similar uses for men as ``The Pill'' has for women.
it had only had laboratory testing on animals beforehand and was up
for approval by the Canadian government for testing on humans. i have
not heard about this since and am interested in following up on it.

	has anyone out there heard about this male pill since then?

	what is women's reaction to the possibility of male-centered
contraception?
