"The Disappearing Male is a CBC documentary about one of the most important, and least publicized, issues facing the human species: the toxic threat to the male reproductive system. The last few decades have seen steady and dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer. At the same time, boys are now far more at risk of suffering from ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and dyslexia. The Disappearing Male takes a close and disturbing look at what many doctors and researchers now suspect are responsible for many of these problems: a class of common chemicals that are ubiquitous in our world. Found in everything from shampoo, sunglasses, meat and dairy products, carpet, cosmetics and baby bottles, they are called "hormone mimicking" or "endocrine disrupting" chemicals and they may be starting to damage the most basic building blocks of human development."

Will be watching this.
Is infertility an issue you have been made aware of in your cirle?

With the lack of boys in the Western world and the lack of girls in the Eastern world, it should work itself out in the end.-
Interesting how gender selective abortion is spreading in some countries.
What do you folks think of this: Woman's choice to have a son vs. aborting fetuses because they're the "wrong" gender. -
It's completely and totally amoral. I consider myself pro-choice, but when I hear about stuff like gender selective abortion and female infanticide, I feel ill inside.
-
The Western girls would have to migrate to the East, where they will have better economic conditions in the coming years.

My last post was about the debate on the effects of soy, something that most people think is a health food.
They are now telling mothers not to give their baby a diet comprised of soy formula due to it is like giving them 5 birth control pills a day.
This has a dramatic effect on their development and future health.-
Screws up hormones and does other bad stuff. Good point,Kiefer.

When I stopped drinking milk a few years ago, I tried soya milk, only to hear that also had it's drawbacks.

Good point although there is a easy safety measure that humanity can take to avert this catastrophe. Think on this. Polybore has over the years, single handedly, tossed away enough sperm to repopulate a medium sized galaxy.
Rather than have this unmitigated waste of Polybore's genes, for the sake of humanity, polybore could fill a frozen sperm bank, as big as you like, to the brim, thus ensuring the survival of Humanity (or Womankind as it will come be known) for eternity .-
@polybore: And these doomsters thought there was a problem. I'm glad you set them straight. -
For the sake of Humanity this sacrifice polybore has pledged to make.

Low sperm count is more of an individual drama than a collective one, imvho.

Let me know if you need any collaborators.

But this commitment requires balls! If nothing else you could admire those.

Sorry, I changed my comment and screwed up the joke. Now I'm afraid you'll turn my offer down.

Not at all. This heroic endeavour must transcend ego and the selfish thought of a million little polybores marching into the future. In an emergency "All hands to the pump" as they say.

In my experience as a holistic practitioner, I find that as much as people speak and make television programs to raise awareness about the threat to male fertility from toxicity in the environment and otherwise, its just not enough. More than 90% of all males I've come across in my practice have been hormonally affected and in more than 90% of all males who have chronic depression coupled with insomnia and/or bone or limb weakness and/or IBS/Hyper-acidity and/or obesity the root cause is hormonal imbalance.
The sad fact is that instead of giving the men a chance to recover, the medical establishment bombards them with more hormonally manipulative drugs, more medication, and more frightening literature.-
I am not surprised.

Interesting - our food supply and system needs to be fixed.
When I saw the title of this discussion, I thought it was about the future need for men. Once women can make good artificial sperm what need do they have for men? Certainly not for directions.
