One out of 20 men are infertile and scientist are trying to find out why. Australian and Swedish scientists have began doing research on male infertility. Causes have linked to mitochondrial mutations and found that it is passed mother to child. In Sweden Uppsala Universitites have proven this in fruit flies The mutation affects about 10 percent of male cells. The error lies exclusively in male reproductive organs giving no affect to females.
This is a great discovery. I find it weird that Australian and Sweden scientists are working on this because of the huge gap. Male fertility lies an issue and needs to be told of early on. This is one of the things that need to be told with genetic testing. Most of the time pregnancies go wrong the female is blamed
