Mary Kenny: A male contraceptive jab is on the way, but will it truly equalise reproductive control?

It looks as though a male contraceptive vaccine will be available within the next year, according to Dr Amanda Wilson at De Montfort University in Leicester. The jab is called Risug, and it could obviate the demand for vasectomies – which is falling anyway. The vaccine, which has completed its final trials, would be reversible, so it is not as radical as vasectomy.
