How about:

Why is INFERTILITY skyrocketing??

Does poisoned food supply matter?

Tons of other reasons, as well.[/quote]

This is statement is misleading and mostly inaccurate. The perceived increase in infertility rates is largely attributable to people waiting to have kids at older ages. Age adjusted infertility rates have not changed much. The most common environmental cause of infertility is an untreated STI. There are also many legitimate reasons why someone without medical infertility would need IVF. Parents who be a have a severe and potentially life-threatening genetic disease can use IVF to prevent their kids from getting it. Some people get cancer and they need to freeze sperm before getting chemo treatment. In these cases it’s also best to use IVF because it has a higher success rate than IUI. It’s too risky to use IUI if you only have 6 frozen vials of sperm and you cannot make additional samples for infertility treatments. If your wife is 37  and you do IUI, the average odds of having at least one pregnancy with 6 vials is only around 50%. With up to six cycles of IVF your odds having at least one kid would be more than 80%. [/quote]
