I like seriously doubt there's any danger of humans going extinct. I think too many people have babies. It's hard to go anywhere without hearing a crying baby. Even at the theater last time I went to see a movie. Haven't any of these parents heard about the amazing quieting effect of dry cleaning bags? (JK of course.) I've always heard that if a guys balls get to hot it lowers sperm count. Maybe underwear and pants are more snug now?

I guess my point in posting this was that it may not just be DES that has affected transgender people in the womb. There are large numbers of man made endrocrine disrupting chemicals in the environment now. The drop in sperm count may be one effect but there may be others.
Anyway just a thought.
