Dr. Gunda Georg was recently interviewed for the CNN documentary series This is Sex with Lisa Ling, which explores how sex is perceived, discussed, and stigmatized in the U.S. She is shown working in her lab and discussing her work into the development of a male contraceptive pill.
"We’re actually taking three main approaches," explains Dr. Georg, "The first one is to
reduce sperm count so that a man is no longer fertile because there are not
enough sperm produced. The second approach is to prevent sperm from completely
forming, and the third approach is to inhibit sperm motility." When asked about the importance of this research she responds, "I think the world needs it. People really want to be in
control of their lives and they want to also control when they start their
families.”
