Thank you Helen, I have read the reviews and now I am compelled to view the superior treatment of the combined issues in The Handmaids Tale.

I wrote a sci fi treatment of an infertility crises but it was fairly cavalier and similar to the later film Mimzy. Other comedic films on the subject have come from independent studios in France and America where the crises led to reduced populations of men as well as fertility. It is about time a serious treatment of the issue was made.

I have toured hot spots of cancer cluster regions going back as far as Love Canal. Zoar Valley is one of those hot spots in NY I have posted about. The political destruction of the EPA could not have come at a worst time.

Starting from 40 years ago the average reduction of fertility in all western men is 50%, not half of the men. The cause sounds like death from a thousand cuts but some reasons may be monstrous and ubiquitous.

The collapse of fishing stocks were known 30 years ago. Factory ships still trawl everything to death and only keep a few commercial stock.
Cod is tying to make a comeback.
I have heard the depletion is so bad around Japan that jelly fish have choked the ecological void.

I don't mean to carp for the halibut but our fate seems to be seal and we are diving into a shark decline.
