Falling Sperm Counts Among Men
Year: 2022
Perhaps one of the most worrying things for our human species is the idea that we might no longer be capable of reproduction. Some have referenced how labs could make children for us one day. Yet you still need to have working sperm and proper sperm counts even if we could produce a child in a lab. In one of the most surprising scientific findings of 2022, a study published in the Human Reproduction Update journal, the concentration of average sperm concentration has fallen an estimated 101.2m per ml to 49m per ml between 1973 and 2018. This is a drop of 51.6% yet what’s worse is that total sperm count fell 62.3% during that same period. Their study was based on 153 estimates using men who were unaware of their fertility. Men will now want to go get their sperm checked after this!
