Is modern life killing our sperm count?

Imagine a world where humans are infertile. Where technology is the only way to conceive. Where sperm counts get to zero. It sounds like the plot of a bad sci fi film but according to American Professor Shanna Swan, it’s real life … and it could happen sooner than we think.

Dr Shanna Swan is a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. She’s spent decades researching reproductive health and she’s written a fairly alarming book.

It’s called Countdown. How our modern world is threatening sperm counts. Well, is it?
