this post isn't about the above article but one thing that was said in the article:

-"Iran's declining fertility rates"-

the world's declining fertility rates seems to have some govts. in a panic.

here in the US there are fertility clinics on every corner.

americans adopting babies from Latin Amer. and Latin Amer. govts. up in arms about it.

one of the things that might hide the amount of infertility is the live birth rates. Including in those rates impaired babies that will need care their whole lives. deduct those births and the infertility percentage would go up. there are more damaged babies every year. thus lower fertility rates each yr.

2. Too many Iranians not wearing lead underpants when playing with their uranium?

Nobody should panic about declining birth rates. There will always be plenty of people around.

4. it's not Iranians living with uranium, it's Iraq

think again about having enough people

the media is not reporting this

5. Iran

Maybe that's why our regime is so bent on bombing Iran; they're using birth control!!!!! That, and accepting non-Dollars (for payment of oil) is enough to ensure them bombardment back to the Stone Age.

6. Last I heard, the fertility rate was 6 (SIX) children per woman in Iran....

They were repopulating after the war with Iraq.

How is a reduction in that obscene number a bad thing?
