Today's women are often encouraged to focus on careers, sometimes at the expense of learning life skills like managing households or cooking.

What Causes Infertility? Why has infertility become so widespread now, whereas it wasn’t as common 40 years ago? Is this due to diseases among people or something bigger, like a conspiracy?
