dc.description.abstractContraception dates back to Mesopotamian times. Science fiction (SF) has utilised many contraceptive plot devices and this paper will explore these stratagems from the pharmacological point of view. It will be shown that the oral contraceptive pill and the contraceptive implant were both predicted in SF as well as other forms of contraception of which we only, as yet, have tantalising research possibilities.en_GB
