I am wondering
if American women inadvertently put the fear into the American medical device industry so that it took scientists from Australia to develop this device.
After the whole hulabaloo about breast implants and the costly lawsuits, I would not be surprised if American companies might have been gun shy about developing a device that might just as easily lead to similar lawsuits, from unexpected pregnancies, etc.
Or maybe we're just no longer the nation of innovators we thought we were-- unless it is ways to torture people without leaving marks, or ways to make crowds scram, or maybe ways to destroy all the people in a city without touching the precious real estate.
