Human race faces extinction if male sperm count continues to fall worldwide

'Male fertility is falling every year in the Western world — and experts blame chemicals and modern lifestyles.

A study of 124,000 men visiting fertility clinics in Europe and the USA found sperm quality reducing by almost 2% per year.

Separate research focusing on 2,600 sperm donors [men with above-normal fertility] showed a similar pattern.

While most men can still father a child, scientists say the human race faces extinction if the trend continues.

It follows a landmark study last year showing a 59% cut in Western sperm counts from 1973 to 2011.'

Humanity thinning out isn't such a bad idea. Plus, men in non-western countries are probably in a lot better shape sperm health-wise. Still, the decline in T is a bigger problem vis-a-vis men's overall health.
