We're going to trust men with an invisible daily birth control? I don't think so.

As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.

It goes both ways. A man shouldn't trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.

This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn't be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that's still a huge market.

Exactly, no one should trust anyone they just met.

If only it was possible for both people in a relationship to use birth control, that way if one of them didn't, there still wouldn't be a problem. Oh wait, that's what this article is about.

Edit: oops, replied to the wrong comment. Meant to reply to the one above you.

Why not delete the comment and respond to the right person? Not that you should at this point, but it would have taken less time than explaining it in an edit so I'm curious

I would guess because people get a notification with the comment. If that then gets deleted without explanation then you leave someone confused.
