Elson makes some good points, one being that menstruation is normal, not a problem/disease that needs to be "cured."
Interesting radio broadcast. Outlines some pros and cons with good questions for women considering lybrel, particularly that women should weigh the unknown future safety factor with why they want to stop menstruating. Also makes the point well that menstruation is normal and healthy and to consider it a problem that needs fixing with medication is a women's issue that reflects male-oriented culture.
