	Description:		A sperm-stopping gel injected into the tubes that transport it around the body could be a game-changer when it comes to a male contraceptive. In a world first, the procedure dubbed the 'reversable vasectomy', is being trialled by researchers at the Epworth Freemasons Hospital in Melbourne.
