Radioactive Babies Oh No!

Article

I just read something very disturbing in this article. According to recent studies done in Germany, Switzerland and the US, researches have found that radiation has had an effect on the sex of babies born. Ever since the U-bomb there has been some concern. And as it turns out it's not without cause. Studies show that radiation exposure causes men to father more boys.

This honestly scares me. I know that radiation has caused birth defects, but even in these small doses it seems to be causing problems. If this gets too bad there could be a dramatic drop in females born. This is one of the many prices we must pay for our industraial society. I sincerly hope that we try to do something to prevent or help this situation.
