A potential crisis in human fertility is brewing. As societies become
more affluent, they experience changes that have a dramatic impact on
reproduction. As average family sizes fall, the selection pressure for
high-fertility genes decreases; exacerbated by the IVF industry which
allows infertility-linked genes to pass into the next generation. Male
fertility rates are low, for many reasons including genetics and
exposure to environmental toxins. So, a perfect storm of factors is
contriving to drive fertility rates down at unprecedented rates. If we
do not recognize the reality of our situation and react accordingly,
an uncontrollable decline in population numbers is likely, which we'll
be unable to reverse. This book will address, in a unique and
multi-faceted way, how the consequences of modern life affects
fertility, so that we can consider behavioural, social, medical and
environmental changes which could reduce the severity of what is about
to come.
