Vasectomy Around The World

2010-09-09T02:09:29Z

A vasectomy is a popular form of birth control. New Zealand has the highest rate of vasectomies, with 23% of men having gone through the procedure. That figure is 11% in the United States, with the same average number across Europe. It is less common in developing countries, with the rate in China and India around 8%. It is significantly lower in Africa.

More vasectomies are performed in the so called "more developed" world. It is used relatively seldom in Asia and Africa, bu...

Italy has given a final go-ahead to the abortion drug RU-486, capping years of debate and defying opposition from the Vatican.

Population growth driving climate change, poverty: experts

2010-04-16T10:12:35Z

Unchecked population growth is speeding climate change, damaging life-nurturing ecosystems and dooming many countries to poverty, experts concluded in a conference report released Monday.

Unless birth rates are lowered sharply through voluntary family-planning programmes and easy access to contraceptives, the tally of humans on Earth could swell to an unsustainable 11 billion by 2050, they warned.

The UN currently p...

Doctors' advice to Britons: have fewer children and help save the planet

2010-04-16T16:36:22Z

British couples should consider having no more than two children to help reduce the environmental impact of the rising global population, doctors have said.

An editorial in the British Medical Journal today calls on GPs to encourage the view that bigger families are as environmentally dubious as owning a patio heater or driving a gas-guzzler.

Writing in the journal,

Study Hints That Long-Term Use of Oral Contraceptives May Boost Odds of Having Artery Buildups
