Less boys being born...for the last 30 years!

Posted on Apr 13th 2007 1:42PM by Rigel Celeste
Here's a thought for all the single women of the future: less and less males are being born every year on average, and this trend has been going on for the last 30 years. So ladies if it seems someday like there just "aren't any good men left in the world" you might actually be right.

The cause for the trend is "unclear," but reasons like people having babies at older ages and environmental factors seem to be getting the blame so far. But there are a lot of things mentioned in this article that make me wonder, like why do boy babies have a higher mortality rate than girls? And why are some races at higher risk of death? Sometimes news just makes you more curious, instead of more informed.
