The Pros And Cons Of The Pink Pill

Decent Essays
In class we discussed the pink pill. I was not even aware that this type of pill existed. I was also surprised to learn that this pill is not like Viagra. Viagra is a pill used by men that has to do with the physical body whereas the pink pill affects a woman’s sex drive, which is a cognitive issue.

This drug caused many birth defects that resulted in emotional and physical pain and displacement.…
