FOUR offspring is plenty for 37-year-old Glen Magdaleno of Los Angeles. “Children are grand, but they’re a bit of a hassle too,” he says. “I love my kids, but I just can’t have any more and still be a good parent.”
Not only would Magdaleno, a nursing attendant in a hospital orthopedic ward, be happy to share contraceptive responsibility with his wife, he’d also like for all men to have options beyond condoms, withdrawal or a vasectomy. To those ends, he recently volunteered at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center to test one of several male birth control drugs being developed around the world.
