\nThe article covers a lot of good points on this issue, like the problem with counting sperm: “Sperm-counting is a tricky business and notoriously prone to human error, Dr. Pacey said. (\u201cI say it from the point of view of someone who spent 30 years counting sperm and knows how difficult it is,\u201d he added.) In a 2013 review article, he noted that as methodologies for counting had improved and been standardized since the 1980s, sperm counts had appeared to fall. In other words, it may simply be that earlier scientists were overcounting sperm.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
