The current issue of the New Yorker Magazine (the one with a smoking snow man
on the cover) has a good article on widespread low sperm counts observed in
Western Europe and the US. Not without humor. For example, farmers hadling of
estrogen implants in caponizing chickens, allegedly resulted in
'caponized farmers.'
