I have to argue with definitions such as “failure to conceive after a year of unprotected sex”. 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…?

among billions of sperm, we’re born and we won the battle to be in this world today. You were born to win, because you already won your first battle!

I used to be recommended this web site through my cousin. I am no longer sure whether or not this submit is written via him as nobody else recognise such certain about my difficulty. You’re wonderful! Thanks!

Templar 7 has problems with the dictionary, reading research, shooting off ‘er yap, explaining who she’s talking about…. 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….

Ahhh….more beautiful evidence twords my arguement that too many people mix up Evolution and Mutation. 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.

Good day

This article gets infertility treatments wrong. 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.

I agree with those who are underwhelmed that we have found a possible cause of lower fertility. 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.

Fred, you’re correct in your statement that the newlyweds need further testing, absolutely!
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.

What part of the world are the newly wed from and what are their family histories. 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.

Natural selection brought us brains. This is using them. It helps prove the our fitness of our species.

To fight such natural selection in our own speciese, are we helping our own kind?
