[Dr. Abraham Morgentaler]:
Guy stays on testosterone. I'll make it more blunt for you. If I were on testosterone, if I were diagnosed with prostate cancer, I would stay on testosterone and never come off it. It doesn't make a difference. The logic that people have used is illogical. Long ago, when the stuff was really controversial and people really didn't trust any of the story, I came up with, I thought, something very successful that I used in plenary sessions and debates.
