[PA5COR]

Max de Winter passed away, he invented the first birth control pill working for Organon in Oss the Netherlands.
They put the first pill on the market in 1962 that passes the controls of the inspection and was introduced worldwide.
Lots of people and firms were working on the same goal though.

He became 94 years old.

Hmm, might be some conflict on that depending on who's history book you're reading! :)


The Creation of the Pill
Gregory Pincus was an American physician, biologist, and researcher during the 20th century. Early in his career he began studying hormonal biology and steroidal hormones, but his first breakthrough came in 1934 when was able to produce in vitro fertilization in rabbits. In 1953, Margaret Sanger and Katherine McCormick confronted Pincus with the idea of creating an oral contraceptive. He sought out Searle, a pharmaceutical company, about funding for their plan. Searle's initial reaction was 'no' because it jeopardized his company due to the austere birth control laws. Despite the fact that Searle had no intention of creating an oral contraceptive, Frank Colton, a chemist at the company, accidentally developed a type of one. Pincus was allowed to have samples of the drug for his research and in 1957 The Pill was released as a treatment for gynecological disorders. Finally, in 1960, it became FDA approved and by 1963, 1.2 million women were using it. Although Searle was originally reluctant to fund research for an oral contraceptive, he soon reaped the rewards of the newly invented Pill, and monopolized the industry for a short time.

His pills were internatonally introduced and traded in 1962.

Mede-uitvinder Lynestrenol
Hij was een van de drie uitvinders van Lynestrenol, een bestanddeel van de eerste anti-conceptiepil die Organon begin jaren zestig in de handel bracht. Het middel werd in deze en andere toen gelovige plaatsen in Brabant niet zomaar geaccepteerd. Vandaar dat het middel, Lyndiol, in eerste instantie werd aangemerkt als een medicijn om de menstruatiecyclus te reguleren.

Co inventor of Lynestrenol.
He was of the three inventors of Lynestrenol, a component of the first contraceptive pill which Organon put in the sixty's on the market.
Lyndiol, was in the first place commented as a medecine to regulate the menstruation cycle.
This due to the catholic area Organon was set up, and birthcontrol pills should have made some people quite unhappy, read church priests and the like.

And the Republican party has been pissed ever since.

Not until 2011. They didn't seem to have much of a problem with it during the 80s when the cocaine flowed like water.
