Add it to the list: no more laptop on your knees if you’re trying to have a baby.
A new study, published in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility by researchers from Argentina and the U.S., found that semen samples placed a little more than an inch under a Wi-Fi-connected laptop experienced more DNA damage and mobility issues than regular sperm. The samples were taken from 29 healthy men with an average age of 34.

I would think the heat alone would be a warning sign, but this is even worse.

Please support my growing efforts and the 33,000 men who will die of prostate cancer and the nearly 8,300 men who will be diagnosed with testicular cancer this year.
Okay, I’m not running a marathon or biking to LA, but it still has been a hardship on my family and itchy as hell.

I’m a little leery about statements like this based on a “majority of donors’” responses from a study involving only 78 teens. I would wish these kids well though. Searching through who you are in adolescence, or even middle age, isn’t easy even if you know all the scraps of data from your past.
(Reuters Life!) – The 2010 drama “The Kids Are All Right” featured two teens raised by a lesbian couple who decide to contact their biological father — an experience that is unlikely to leave scars in real life, two studies said.

All it takes, apparently, for this level of fertility, not to mention longevity, is a daily diet of three litres of milk, half a kilo of almonds and half a kilo ghee (clarified butter). Ramajit Raghav and his wife Shakuntala, 59, gave birth to their son Karamjit in November 2010.
The proud father, who was a wrestler in his youth, puts his virility down to his high-calorie diet.

Okay…it was mouse, using stem cell technology, but the headline would be no less striking with the addition of “mouse dads.” This is literally A Brave New World.
Using stem cell technology, Texas researchers have created mice who have two genetic fathers – an advance that could give same-sex couples their own genetic children one day.
