As I was preparing for our international fertility meetings, and being the guy I am who likes to think big and help others, I embraced this year’s theme: “Focus on the Next Generation.” And then my mind began to wander. If I were given stupidly large sums of money, where would I invest in men’s […]
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Spoiled for choice. How do you decide which path to take to have children after a vasectomy?
