The frequency of copulation would have to be a factor. This problem is also present in specs on contraceptives. Are the people having sex every day, once a week, once a month...?

Clears up, though! It's a fine contraceptive; go read the paper and a bit on the type of mutation, then tell us whether it's from vaccine and/or disease genome interaction, too much salt, or mass-produced chocolate. Love the comment about the tribe, the 'newly wed.' I think there are links to the 'goyim' tribe....

Mutation is more than the Metagenetical role that the THEORY of Evolution puts it in and one day people will wake up and realize Darwin was actually pretty stupid and insecure in his own work.

First of all, they do test for compatibility between sperm and cervical mucous. Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) is not "concentrating sperm into a single sample and trying with that." The woman is given mild fertility drugs leading up to the IUI in order to produce between 1 and 3 extra eggs for that cycle and then is given a trigger shot to get all of the follicles to ovulate at about the same time. The sperm is taken from a single ejaculation, cleaned and concentrated, and then injected by catheter directly into the uterus, bypassing the possibly problematic cervical mucous. If IUI fails after 3 attempts (success rate is ~15%), then IVF is tried (with a success rate also around 15%). In other words, this discovery does nothing to change this protocol, because the mucous/sperm compatibility issue is already addressed. This article gets infertility treatments wrong.

Im curious, scientifically, as to how the mechanism works, and why it may have been selected for in large enough numbers to end up in 20% of males, but I really, really could care less about treating the infertile. We are overpopulated, and it seems beyond ridiculous to me that science just keeps trying to find ways to make overpopulation work, rather than just acknowledge that many of the worlds problems could be solved, cheaply and easily, with birth control.

However, before we run off modifying something else that Nature took forever to create, we would be well advised to learn as much of its function as we possibly are able. If Nature herself say fit to leave it in functioning order for all this time, its job must be pretty important.

These are the next set of questions we should be asking. Then the next step would be trying to correct the gene or asking if these people should be helped and letting nature take place.
