Yea, we really need to trim that number down.

 

A lot of countries already on it cuz they ain't bangin enough...China, Russia, Japan, see how many countries in Europe getting close to jus barely replacement rate, US is only over replacement rate because of our broken immigration system.

 

Folks been predicting the overpopulation Armageddon for decades, damn near centuries. Some metrics are pointing to a possible population stagnation coming soon.  That's new...

Perhaps overpopulation is a self-correcting problem...

 

Sperm count drop is accelerating worldwide and threatens the future of mankind, study warns

 

Sperm counts worldwide have halved over the past five decades, and the pace of the decline has more than doubled since the turn of the century, new research shows.

The international team behind it says the data is alarming and points to a fertility crisis threatening the survival of humanity.

 

Their meta-analysis looked at 223 studies based on sperm samples from over 57,000 men across 53 countries.

 

It shows for the first time that men in Latin America, Asia, and Africa share a similar decline in total sperm counts and concentration as previously observed in Europe, North America, and Australia.

 

The authors warn that the mean sperm count has now dropped dangerously close to the threshold that makes conception more difficult, meaning couples around the world may encounter problems having a baby without medical assistance.


The findings, published on Tuesday in the journal Human Reproduction Update, serve as "a canary in a coal mine," said Professor Hagai Levine, the study’s lead author from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Hadassah Braun School of Public Health.

 

"We have a serious problem on our hands that, if not mitigated, could threaten mankind’s survival," he said in a statement.

 

In this latest study, they found that average sperm counts all around the world had fallen by over 50 per cent over the past five decades.

 

Data from 1973 to 2018 showed sperm counts dropped on average by 1.2 per cent per year. Data from after the year 2000 showed a decline of more than 2.6 per cent per year.

It will, and it may not be pretty how it happens, famine being a major concern.

 

Most countries which have industrialized and educate women, have negative replacement rates.  As the rest of the world catches up with industrialization, they will follow a similar pattern

 

It may be at some point, long after our generation is gone, humanity will start to have the opposite problem because of this.

World Vasectomy Day – November 18, 2022

 

World Vasectomy Day falls on the third Friday of November every year. This year, it is observed on November 18. The day advocates for vasectomy as a safe and sensible choice for male contraception and promotes the training of doctors who can conduct the procedure. Vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive procedure done on a male’s sexual organ to limit the transfer of sperm during intercourse. Vasectomy is safe, reversible, and highly effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies. Since its launch in 2012, World Vasectomy Day has partnered with more than 30+ countries and is now the largest male-focused family planning and sexual health movement in the world.

Just remember the quote from Auguste Comte, "Demography is destiny."  I think it is true from a macro-economics view for countries.

 

China is reaping the effects of 30 years of one child law.  Europe wishes they had Mexico on their border to send them workers.  I have said for years here, "We need more immigrants not fewer.
