Warning on infertility

Bill Ledger of the University of Sheffield is warning that infertility in Europe could double in ten years, exacerbating the continuing demographic crisis of that continent. The causes? STDs, obesity and the postponement of childbearing. Says Ledger: "About one in seven couples is infertile now, and put these together and it could be as many as one in three or four. It is going to become a major political issue." France and the Scandinavian countries are already making an effort to address this issue.
