Njengento ephuma kuWoody Allen’s Sleeper, isixhobo sokuthintela inzala sobuchwephesha obuphezulu kodwa esingaqhelekanga siye sehla saya kwiitafile ezisecaleni kwebhedi kummandla weSixeko saseNew York. Ebizwa ngokuba yiLady-Comp, olu hlaziyo lwekhompyuter lwendlela yesingqisho esinexesha elide lithembisa ukukhulula abantu basetyhini kwizisu ezidumbileyo, ezigungxulwayo nakwizidudu zesini ezixubileyo ezihlala zihamba neepilisi zoqingqo-nzala. Ndiyathanda ukuyisebenzisa, utshilo uMonica, umntu oneminyaka engama-37 ubudala owamkela kwimfundo kwiziko lenkcubeko laseManhattan kwaye wayengafuni ukuba kusetyenziswe igama lakhe lokugqibela. Kubonakala ngathi le nto yokudlala yaseJapan.
Ngapha koko, i-Lady-Comp isuka eJamani, ngo-1992 kwaqanjwa omnye uHubertus Rechberg, umcebisi kwezolawulo kufutshane naseMunich owathi wakuphuhlisa emva kokuba inkosikazi yakhe iqunjelwe yimilenze ebusuku xa wayethatha ipilisi.
NgokukaGqirha Rechberg (one-Ph.D. Kwezoqoqosho), kukho malunga neeyunithi ezingama-70,000 zeLady-Comp ezikhoyo ngoku eJamani nase 30,000 ngaphezulu kulo lonke elaseMexico, Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Norway nase-Itali. I-gizmo eyi- $ 425 ayizukuyiphumelela i-FDA imvume, kodwa umhambisi wayo waseMelika, iRaXMedical, uqikelela ukuba malunga nama-20 ukuya kuma-30 ama-gals amangalisayo aseGotham-okanye amaqabane abo amyoli-bayalele nge-Intanethi kwezi nyanga zisithoba zidlulileyo.
Omnye oneminyaka engama-33 ubudala osebenza ekupapashweni kwaye wakhetha ukuhlala engaziwa wafumana i-Lady-Comp kumlingane wakhe we-technophile emva kokuba eve malunga naloo mfazi weqabane lakhe loshishino. Ungene kwizixhobo, utshilo. Uyifumene kum, okanye eyethu, njengesipho seKrisimesi. Indlela endiphendule ngayo yathi, 'Huh?' Esi sibini besisebenzisa ngovuyo ukusukela oko. Yintsikelelo, utshilo.
Malunga nobungakanani beDiski, esi sixhobo sifana namacwecwe amabini edessert ajonganayo njengembumbulu, njengoko abeka umsebenzisi omnye. Iqondo lobushushu lemihla ngemihla labasetyhini ligcinwa kwikhompyuter, eliyihlalutya ngokuchasene nesiseko sedatha samawaka emijikelezo yokuya esikhathini kwabasetyhini. Ngokusekwe kwinto yokuba iqondo lobushushu basal labasetyhini (iqondo lobushushu lomzimba wakhe eliphantsi, elithathiweyo into yokuqala ekuseni) liphuma malunga nexesha le-ovulation, uLady-Comp uxela kwangaphambili ukuba uninzi kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba angakhulelwa kwaye xa ixesha lakhe lifikile. Ifunda imikhwa yabasebenzisi bayo njengeTiVo yobufazi ejikelezayo, nezibane ezibengezelayo ezibonisa ukuba kukhuselekile nini ukulala nomntu okanye hayi. Olubomvu kuthetha ukuba akukho nookie, oluhlaza kuthetha ukuba uya kuyenza kwaye tyheli yinto ephakathi-kufana, lala kuphela ukuba kufanelekile.
Kukho kwakhona okubonakalayo-M-xa sele uza kufumana ixesha lakho. Kupholile, utshilo oneminyaka engama-33 ubudala. Njengokuba uphumelele ibhaso.
Isixhobo esithandekayo senzelwe ukuba siphumle ecaleni kwebhedi, apho siqala khona ntsasa nganye ngentsimbi yesilumkiso encinci, sikhumbuza umfazi ukuba athabathe iqondo lobushushu. Ijongeka njengewotshi yedijithali, utshilo uMonica. Ithemometha ayivelisi, athi umfazi ayityibilikise emlonyeni wakhe ukuze ifundwe imizuzwana engama-30. Bekhululekile emsebenzini wekhondom, amadoda anoyolo ngakumbi ukuthatha inxaxheba kule nkqubo; elinye isoka lachaza le nkqubo njengokuloba-uyoyama ebhedini kwaye umlobanise phantsi kolwimi, ngokungathi intanda yakhe yayingumgxobhozo.
I-frisson ethile yengozi inokongeza kulonwabo lwesibini. Yindlela nje eqinisekiswe yikhompyuter yendlela yesingqisho, yavuma isoka le-technophile. Nangona ikhanya iluhlaza, kukutsiba kokholo.
Abayeni bahlala beyibiza ngokuba 'yiLady-Cop,' utshilo uMonica, kuba iluhlobo olulondolozayo.
‘Ukusebenzisa Iikhondomu Kwakubuhlungu Kangaka E-Asileni’
Indlela yesingqi, kunye neethemometha kunye nephepha legrafu, ibingasekho kwifashoni ukusukela nge1950's. Ngaba le ayisiyiyo eyokuma kwamaKatolika yakudala ejongene neentsapho zabantwana abali-12 kwihlabathi liphela? Ngaba ayisiyiyo le nto isizukulwana seMizimba yethu, Ngokwethu oomama abasifundise ukuyiphepha? Kwaye uthini ngePilisi?
Kwasungulwa ngonyaka ka-1951 nguCarl Djerassi, yathandwa kuyo yonke iminyaka yama-60 kwaye yasulungekiswa ngokungaguquguqukiyo ukusukela ngoko, ipilisi yolawulo lokuzalwa kudala ikhankanywa njengophawu lwenkululeko yabasetyhini kwindlela yesingqisho esingathembekiyo, i-U.D eyoyikisayo. kwaye uvalo lwe-saucer ephaphazelayo. Kodwa isithuba- (uMary) McCarthy sizukulwana sikhuliswa sisoyika uGawulayo kunye nezinye izifo ezosulela ngokwabelana ngesondo, abafundiswa ukuxhomekeka kwiPilisi kuphela ukuba kubudlelwane obubodwa, ezo zipinki zincinci zepinki aziyonto xa ingacinezeli. Ungayichazanga eyokuba u-2004 lixesha leyoga kunye nencindi yomrharnate; Abasetyhini abafuni ukuginya iihomoni ukusuka kwi-15 ukuya kwi-45 yeminyaka.
Ndiyayicaphukela ipilisi, utshilo oneminyaka engama-33. Indenza ndityebe kwaye ndonwabe.
Kum, ukwehla kwipilisi kwakukukhulu, utshilo u-Alexandra Ince, oneminyaka engama-35, umthandi weLady-Comp nohlala eConnecticut kwaye usebenza esixekweni. Kuvakala ngathi yinto nje, kodwa kwakusikhulula kakhulu.
Bendifuna into engandigulisi okanye ekufuneka ndikhumbule ukuyithatha, utshilo uMonica, utitshala weziko lenkcubeko. Sisebenzise iikhondom; ukuba kukho into eyenzekileyo, besikulungele ukujongana nesiphumo. Kodwa ukusebenzisa iikhondom yayiyintlungu enjalo e-esileni.
USara, ozinikeleyo kwiLady-Comp osebenza ebhankini emantla eNew York, uthe esi sixhobo sibuphucule kakhulu ubomi bakhe ngokwesondo. Ikwenza ukuba uxabise iintsuku eziluhlaza, utshilo. Phambi [xa wayekwipilisi], sasisonqena nje ngayo, sicinga ukuba singayenza nayiphi na imini. Kwaye ngoku ukuqhuba kwam ngesondo kungcono kakhulu.
Abasebenzisi beLady-Comp ekunxibelelane nabo nguMbonisi bonke babenobudlelwane obuzinzileyo apho isifo esidluliselwa ngeentlobano zesini sasingeyiyo inkxalabo kwaye ukukhulelwa ngekhe kube yintlekele epheleleyo. Ukuba bendineminyaka engama-22, ngekhe ibe yindlela elungileyo, utshilo uCarol, umhleli oneminyaka engama-35 ohlala ePark Slope kwaye wasebenzisa iLady-Comp ukukhusela ukukhulelwa unyaka onesiqingatha (ngoku ulindele yena kuqala Umntwana). Kodwa njengomfazi otshatileyo kusebenza kakuhle, kuba awunyanzelekanga ukuba ulale ngesondo kabini ngemini. Unokusebenza ujikeleze iingxaki. Kwaye ungayisebenzisa xa uzama ukukhulelwa.
Ungacingi ukuba uGqirha Rechberg khange ayicinge loo nto. Ewe uyathengisa igajethi yodade, i-Baby-Comp ($ 595) -ngumatshini ofanayo ne-Lady-Comp, eneentsimbi ezimbalwa ezongeziweyo kunye nemilozi yabasetyhini abafuna ukukhulelwa.
Xa ebuzwa ngefowuni malunga nezicwangciso zakhe zokuthengisa kunye nokuthengisa i-Lady-Comp e-US, uGqirha Rechberg ukhalaze malunga neemfuno ezinzima zokufayilisha kunye nokukhetha ezopolitiko kuLawulo lwezoKutya kunye neDrug, ezilawula zonke izixhobo zonyango ezithengisiweyo e-US. Orwellian.
Awunayo le nto kwelinye ilizwe emhlabeni, utshilo uGqirha Rechberg. Siza kulandela loo mazwe anomdla kuwo; kukho amanye amazwe ali-150 emhlabeni. Yiyiphi inqaku lokuzama ukuthengisa e-U.S xa kufana nokuzama ukuqhekeza amatye?
Ukuba uza nento entsha, isiseko sichasene nayo, uGqirha Rechberg uqhubeke. Abahlobo bethu ngabafazi abanomdla wokususa iipilisi kunye ne-IUD kunye nezinto, kunye nabafana abangafuni ukuba nesazela esibi ngenxa yokuba abafazi babo bazityhefu. Enye inkxalabo kukusingqongileyo-malunga neehomoni ezingena kumjikelo wamanzi ngomchamo wabo bonke aba basetyhini namantombazana.
Ugqirha Rechberg uthe izilingo ezisithoba zeklinikhi zeLady-Comp zenziwe eYurophu, kubandakanya enye yeendlela ezili-10 000 zokuya exesheni ezibandakanya abafazi abangama-648 eSwitzerland naseJamani; Enye yazo yapapashwa kwijenali yezonyango i-Advances in Contraception ngo-1998. Isiphetho yayikukuba iLady-Comp yayingqina ukuba i-99.3% yayithembekile ngeentsuku eziluhlaza. Njengebhonasi eyongeziweyo, watsho, abasetyhini abanemibuzo malunga nemijikelezo yabo, abanengxaki yokukhulelwa okanye abanomdla nje ngokubanzi, banokuthumela i-Lady-Comp yabo kwinkampani, eya kuthi ihlalutye idatha abayiqokeleleyo kwaye ichonge iingxaki zokuchuma okanye iimeko zedlala.
Kuzo zonke ezi zinto zimangalisayo, uGqirha Rechberg uvumile ukuba ukusetyenziswa ngokuchanekileyo yeyona nto iphambili ekusebenzeni kweLady-Comp.
Ukuba ukhulelwa ngosuku olubomvu, ayilotyala lethu, utshilo.
UCathy MacEachern, umphathi wokuxhasa abathengi weRaXMedical, umsasazi waseMelika waseLady-Comp, wayengusosayensi malunga neF.A.A. bambelela.
Kukho amabango enziwe ngokubhekisele kuthembeko lwezinto zokuthintela ukukhulelwa ukuba i-F.D. unengxaki nayo, njengoko bebeya kwenza nangaso nasiphi na isixhobo sendalo sokucwangcisa usapho, utshilo. Izifundo zenziwa kwimarike yaseYurophu, kwaye yayizizifundo zokubuyela umva, ke siza kulisusa ibango lokuthembeka, nangona isixhobo sikhuselekile kwaye sithembekile. Umsebenzi we-F.D.A. ayikokufumana imveliso elungileyo yabasetyhini, kukuthi imveliso ihlangabezana nemigangatho yabo.
Sele esitsho, umdla wabasetyhini kwizixhobo zeLady-Comp (kunye ne-Baby-Comp) sele idlulile kwezinye, ezibiza kakhulu, ezona zibeka esweni ubushushu be-basal ihambisa iRaXMedical ihambisa, iPetit Sophia kunye neBioself. UNks MacEachern ulindele ukukhanya okuluhlaza (okuthetha njalo) ukusuka kwi-F.D.A. kwiinyanga ezimbini okanye njalo, ukuba yonke iqhubeka kakuhle.
USharon Snider, osisithethi se-FDA, uthe abalawuli abanakuqinisekisa okanye baphike ukuba isicelo se-Lady-Comp sifakiwe, kodwa bavuma izixhobo zonyango ezitsha ezingama-4 000 ukuya kuma-5 000 minyaka le. Zombini i-Bioself kunye ne-Petit Sophia zavunywa ukuba zithengiswe e-US ngo-1992 nango-2003.
Eyona nto iphambili kukuba sijonge ukuqinisekisa ukuba imveliso ikhuselekile kwaye isebenza ngokufanelekileyo ekusetyenzisweni kwayo, utshilo uNksk Snider.
‘Ngokusisiseko iThemometha’
Nokuba yeyiphi i-F.D. ikamva, abavelisi beLady-Comp babonakala bemiselwe ukunganyangeki luluntu lwezonyango olusebenzayo, ababonisa ukuthandabuza into engamiselwanga ngugqirha, ukutya-i-granola-barefoot-in-the-grass indlela yolawulo lokuzalwa nokuba kukujija kobuchwephesha.
Eyona nto ithemometha. Ayikho enye into, akukho nto ingaphantsi, utshilo uGqirha Frederick Licciardi, uNjingalwazi onxulumene neNYU. Isikolo sezoNyango kwisebe le-Obstetrics kunye ne-Gynecology. Ke ngoko ichanekile njenge-thermometer ekuncediseni ukukhulelwa okanye ukukhulelwa. Ngoko ke akunamsebenzi njenge-thermometer.
Ukucwangciswa kosapho kwendalo kuya kunceda ukwehlisa ithuba lokukhulelwa lowasetyhini, uGqirha Licciardi uqhubeke. Inqanaba lokusilela kwale ndlela yokuthintela ukukhulelwa lelona liphezulu kulo naluphi na uhlobo lolawulo lokuzalwa. Unokulandela onke amanyathelo ngokugqibeleleyo kwaye ukhulelwe. Isizathu sokuba kutheni iindlela zingasebenzi kakuhle-nakumntu oqhelekileyo-kukuba kusekho ukujija ngexesha lokuvota.
Umbono wokuphepha ukukhulelwa ngokuchonga ngokuthe ngqo ukuba kwenzeka nini ukukhutshwa kweqanda sele ikho amashumi eminyaka, utshilo uGqirha uMark I. Evans, ob-gyn eSt. Luke's-Roosevelt. Ubukhulu becala khange isebenze.
Xa ukhulelwa bayabhatala ngokuzisa umntwana? Utshilo uGqirha Jacques Moritz, naye waseSt. Luke’s-Roosevelt. Akunakubakho nto iphosakeleyo ngayo-kodwa ukuba unomjikelo ongaqhelekanga, oku kuyakuba yintlekele.
Abameli boCwangciso loMzali olucwangcisiweyo bathi beve ngesixhobo, kodwa benqabile ukuphawula ngayo nantoni na engeyiyo inzalo yokwenene.
Ndiyawuthanda lo mbono, utshilo ugqirha wengqondo waseManhattan uGqirha Judy Kuriansky, ojolise kubafazi abancinci. Ndicinga ukuba intle kakhulu, ihambelana namaxesha, nobomi babafazi, nento efunwa ngabafazi ngenene. Kodwa sithi, sebenzisa ikhondom nawe.
Ewe, ukusebenzisa ikhondom yeyona nto yokugqibela amadoda abakwilungu elinye anomdla wokuziva ngathi ayathanda.
Umyeni kaNks. Ince, uBrandon, ucinga ukuba kukho nantoni na, iLady-Comp iyaphazama kwicala lokhuseleko. Icala elibi leLady-Comp kukuba azikho zonke iintsuku eziluhlaza-uyazi, xa umazi umntu iminyaka eli-10, iintsuku eziluhlaza zimbalwa kwaye zikude kakhulu, waqhula. Kuya kufuneka uqiniseke ukuba zonke iinyanga zilungelelanisiwe kwezo ntsuku ziluhlaza. Kukho mhlawumbi, mhlawumbi iintsuku ezisibhozo zomjikelo eziluhlaza. Yiyo iintsuku ezingama-22 zokulumkisa okanye ezibomvu.
Ithiyori yam yeyokuba iinkampani zolawulo lweepilisi azifuni abantu bazi malunga [neLady-Comp] kuba ngumceli mngeni kwimarike yabo, baxhokonxa uNks. Ince. Uva oogqirha bethetha ngayo ngokungathi sisikimu sokuqhekeka, kodwa kungokwemvelo, iziseko zokuzala kwabasetyhini. Ndicinga nje ukuba kukho oku kunqamka kokukhulu kwinto eyaziwayo ngabafazi ngemizimba yabo kunye nojikelezo lwabo lokuzala. Ukuba ndiqala ukuthetha nabasetyhini malunga nayo, bafana nam-bayazi okuncinci malunga nazo zonke izinto ezahlukeneyo. Andazi ukuba yimfundo elawulwa ngamadoda, okanye ukuba oogqirha abacingi ukuba abantu basetyhini abanakho ukuyiphatha ngokufanelekileyo loo ngcaciso…. Ndicinga ukuba ngezo ntsuku ziluhlaza ungayithemba ngokwenene.
Yinto entle kakhulu, evuya uMonica. Ucinga ukuba uyazi ngomzimba wakho, kodwa awude ude usebenzise isixhobo esinjengoLady-Comp.
