Chinese doctors have developed a new technique in birth control surgery for men that could be made available to the public next year, the China Daily said Thursday.

The method involves making a small incision along the testicle into which doctors place a tiny tube.

"The tube functions as a filter that blocks sperm," Wu Weixiong, the director of Guangzhou Family Planning Technology Centre, was quoted as saying.

The technique, which is reversible by simply taking out the tube, has been patented and the health department would promote it as soon as it is approved by the National Food and Drug Administration, said Zhu Jiaming, the vice-president of the Guangzhou Sexology Association.

"The success rate for this form of birth control is 97 percent," he said.

Wu said the operation took just 10 minutes.

"However, it is very difficult and requires highly skilled doctors," the newspaper said.

I wonder if infrequent filter changes cause blockages that reduce the efficiency of the unit.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Hmmm, why is it the first thing that comes to mind when I read this is the newspaper headline, "SPERM FILTER RECALL!!!"

Doesn't seem as effective as the old method of having the woman strain the sperm out thru her teeth.

I hope the filter is painted with lead-based paint.
