Of course, the fact that all the women are covered head-to-toe in black fabric has *nothing* to do with this problem.

Yes, because be covered up like that prevents someone from getting Vitamin D from the sun.

Dang. I was hoping it was because of our microwave sterilization satellites beaming down onto that area.

These doctors seems to have recognized that, for most of adult life, fertility = health. I hope that what they learn is beneficial to many.

Oh look.

Fertility is dropping.

In the area where the most objectionable humans live.

What a coincidence.

With all the sun they have there? Doesn’t vitamin D come from sunshine?

Maybe they need to look at inbreeding and how it affects fertility.

I remember the first time I did some searches and reading on Middle East consanguinity. Very eye opening.

Hmm. There is also a voluntary drop-off in fertility when children become more likely to live to adulthood. In the absence of high childhood mortality, parents choose to invest their resources into raising a couple of kids, instead of putting their effort into having babies.

That said, I really dislike the idea of fertility clinics—anywhere. I do not think it is a good idea for population health to try to overcome natural infertility. That only preserves the genetic factors causing infertility, with the result that those “bad genes” end up more prevalent instead of being weeded out. Fertility clinics have existed for a couple of generations now; how many more generations will it be before becoming pregnant naturally becomes the exception rather than the rule?

Vitamin D needs sunlight to be manufactured.
If you wear a tent and only show your eyes then you are depriving yourself of Vitamin D.
Besides, since when is muzzie infertility a problem. We could do with a few less muzzies.
