Bad hypothesis
ZH recently featured an old discussion as news, which isn't unusual. This 30-year-old discussion is on low sperm counts in Sorosian countries. As usual "scientists", who don't know the difference between life and death, are blaming chemical pollution.
I'm more inclined to see PURPOSE in biology. The fertile countries are places where feminism hasn't yet destroyed the difference between men and women. Reproduction requires a division of labor as defined by experimentally-determined Natural Law.
From this fact, I guessed or hypothesized that sperm count would correlate with Natural Law cultures. When a man knows that his wife is loyal and ready to perform her part of the natural contract, his innards work harder to fulfill his side.
Nope. Dead wrong.
A chart chopped and channeled from a 1996 review of various studies:
The most fertile and NaturalLawy places have the LOWEST sperm counts. Among US studies, NYC consistently shows the highest sperm counts and Southern states the lowest.
Compare with the info that I cited earlier from a Pew survey of religions.
It's a strong negative correlation.
Birth rate certainly doesn't DEPEND on sperm count, and seems to be INVERSELY correlated. Why? (Plausible but unproven answer: Because 50 million per cubic centimeter is still WAY more than enough to insure that one of the 50 million gets through to the egg.)
Conclusion: We SHOULD be worrying about the intentional suicide of Western countries that have turned against Natural Law, but we SHOULDN'T be using sperm count as a proxy for birth rates. Sperm count is an unimportant variable.
