TFR is already way below replacement all over the world. In some countries (e.g. Chile, S.Korea,) it's under 1.0. In others (e.g. Germany, Italy,) TFR has been consistently sub-replacement for over 50 years. This should give us all pause.

The very last thing the world needs is another way to reduce fertility. This invention is worse than that "powdered alcohol" thing from a few years ago.

If anything, given declining sperm fitness in men worldwide, governments ought to consider finding the reverse of this molecule -- a STK33 activator -- and adding it to the water supply.
