Liquid Condoms? !
Many people in Africa and Asia are clueless about the existence of even common condoms in the pharmacies and shops.

Even many of those who know the existence of condoms don't use them because of cultural reasons.

I think it's intriguing what the human mind comes up with nowadays. Liquid condoms are a fascinating invention; however, this new contraceptive will lead us into a future where sex is common and meaningless. It is good to use condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but it's causing many teenages to partake in sex (which is not good). We have to go back to our roots and to our conservative ways where sex was highly `valued.

Intriguing, and thankfully something I'll never have to worry with. This seems both amazing and irresponsible. On the one hand, drunk, high people often don't take safety or precaution to mind when they feel like hopping into bed with someone. However, this could be a godsend to devoted couples stricken with disease caused by a bad transfusion from the past, or some other truly accidental infection.

I think it will not work on HIV because of HIV's high mutation

liquid condoms could protect women from getting HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases...and allow that choice to be in the hands of women instead of men, cultures or religions.

That would be a good thing but does it protect against getting pregnant. I would really buy those!! Safer to use but what are the side effects!

That would be a good thing if it is proved highly effective. But again, will the Pope like this invention? How about Bush and his PEPFAR initiative? There is a possibility of such ingenious inventions being undermined by some social hurdles. All initiatives to help curb HIV/Aids transmission should be encouraged.

My eyes almost popped out on reading about that “invention” of liquid condoms. Do let us know when the aerosols are invented too!! Only God knows how this type will work.

liquid condoms?!
well, that's great..women can have sex to hell without worries of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases,. but what would be its effect on both parties? of course, side effects will always be present in the picture.

Not to downplay John Kim's comment, but the benefits really outweigh the negatives for this type of invention. Will some people partake in premarital sex because of the invention? Quite possibly. But would you rather have a few more people having sex, or a lot more people having STDs?

This has nothing to do with religious belief or what someone might do that you disagree with. People are dying. If I beat someone to death with a bible or use a bible to hide drugs should we ban bibles? Of course not. What if I used a bible keep my kitchen table from wobbling by placing it under a short leg on the floor? Should bibles be banned so no one can use it in what most would deem as a disresepctful manner? Of course not. It is impossible and wrong to force an entire world to follow one person's own moral compass or faith. Anyone who attempts to prevent the use of condoms (whatever kind they are) because condoms might encourage immoral behavior as defined by one person, is - in my opinion - guilty of both the crime and sin of murder.

And I have to wonder about Ken's comment. Is someone a better person or more deserving of treatment because they caught an STD "accidentally?" Does that mean someone who made a mistake or was under the influence of drugs or alcohol is deserving of a death sentence? And if this article were about a preventative drug for cancer would anyone care about the "moral consequences?"
