Father of Horomonal BC Dies
Samuel Leonard, a zoology professor at Cornell died November 12th at 101 years old. By operating on animals, mainly rats, his research lead to advances in reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization and the birth control pill.
Needless to say, without him, thousands of women wouldn’t be able to decide when and if they wanted to have children. Whether it be by controlling when they decide to have children with estrogen based birth control or if they will have children through in vitro fertilization.
