Not only would contraception create an entire field of medical research unstudied for mars, but also serious health risks would be taken with possible fatal results. No one knows the possibilities of reproduction ability on Mars until this unexplored planet has major leaps and bounds in discoveries. The astronauts are supposedly trained for years on a wide range of medical surgeries and basic knowledge first aid, but will be escorted by Argonian technology for medical assistance.
