Study: Quality of Israeli Sperm Down 40%

The quality of Israeli sperm has declined alarmingly in the last decade, according to recent research conducted at Jerusalem's Hadassah University Hospital, Mount Scopus.

Conducted by Dr. Ronit Haimov-Kokhman, the study showed a 40-percent decline in the concentration of sperm cells among the country's sperm donors from 2004 to 2008, compared to those of donors from 1995 to 1999. Hadassah's sperm bank is now turning away two-thirds of potential donors because of low-quality sperm, as opposed to one-third in the past.

Haimov-Kokhman's research is to be presented today at a conference of the Israeli Society of Fertility Investigation in Tel Aviv.

In Israel, too, a study was published about a year ago, showing an increase of about 30 percent in defects in the male reproductive system.

P.S. Don't laugh. You may provoke them into massacre a bunch of Palestinians. And we all know they don't need to be provoked for that.
