Saw this article on msn today. I thought I'd post it over here and see what everybody thought.

Personally, I'd rather risk an accidental pregnancy than death, but that's just me.

Birth control patch linked to higher fatality rate

Report: Device has three times greater risk of stroke, blood clot than pill
FYI - The pill can cause blood clots, too - especially if you smoke. That happened to my mom, who had a pulmonary embolism at age 32. (She recovered, thankfully, but has to be very careful now because she's prone to clots even though she's not on the pill and quit smoking.)
