Euthanasia research. Fertility education. Transgender mental health.

It is fascinating to observe how, in spite of all the radical ideas about sex and gender flosting around, nature makes herself heard occasionally. According to Marcus Roberts on the Demography blog today, a British fertility expert is calling for fertility education of young people. No, not sex education; not how to have sex without babies; but how to have babies, before it's too late -- if you are a woman -- and your fertility has gone down the gurgler (not to put too fine point on it). Allan Pacey, whose specialty is andrology (men's health), is amazed at how little the 18- and 19-year-olds in his undergraduate classes know about their reproductive system. Who would have thought it.
