I have been following the issue of the decline of human sperm quantity and quality. New research published in the journal Human Reproduction Update has shown that the rate of sperm decline has increased by more than double since the year 2000 to 2.64 percent per year. This is worse than between 1972 and 2000, where sperm rates were declining at just 1.16 percent per year. This decline is no longer seen in just the West, but also Asia, South America and Africa, so no-one is safe. “Now we can conclude that among men who didn’t know what their fertility [rate] was, who are, by the way, most representative of the general population, that there was a significant decline [in sperm counts and sperm concentration] in Asia, Africa, and South America – so now we can say that our finding of a significant decline in sperm concentration and count is worldwide – that was a big change from the 2017 paper.” At this rate human extinction could occur around 2045!
Solving this problem will be difficult due to the environmental causes being oestrogenic chemicals, found in plastics and many aspects of the affluent society. To change all of this will be a radical challenge, but something must be done soon, or extinction will creep up on the human race.
