The Infertility Trap

‘A thoughtful and forward-looking, expertly written analysis of human fertility projected into the future. This book not only analyses medical or environmental reasons and causes of human infertility but also educational, demographic and economic developments, and puts them into perspective. With this, the book points out the consequences of declining human fertility as well as possible solutions. A must read, not only for fertility specialists.’ Ralf R. Henkel, LogixX Pharma Ltd., Theale, Berkshire, UK and Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Imperial College London, London, UK‘In The Infertility Trap, Professor John Aitken presents a unique view on the future of our species survival if we do not reconsider the ways we are conducting reproductive medicine. This book is a wake-up call to seek novel and safe alternatives for male contraception to help family planning.’ Cristian O’Flaherty, Professor in the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
