A reader asks about extracting sperm via syringe for artificial insemination to achieve pregnancy without reversing a vasectomy. The doctor responds that such a procedure is not a viable option and advises considering other routes, emphasizing low success likelihood and the need for professional medical guidance.
The letter discusses the tiny sperm count in ejaculation and the difficulty of artificial insemination. It notes surgical sterilization is effectively permanent and the husband would need a skilled urologist to repair the vasectomy. Even with anatomic repair, success in inducing pregnancy is not guaranteed and odds are slim.
Population Reference Bureau analyst Leon Bouvier forecasts the year 2000 US population at 260 to 265 million, up 23 percent from 214 million in 1974, with 63 percent age 25 or older and 58 million under 15 remaining. The median age would rise to about 35, and nonwhite share to 15 percent.
A 1970s census study projects U.S. fertility could climb from 1.9 to 2.1 children per woman by 2000, despite low current rates. Growth hinges on births from married and unmarried women, with factors like contraception and abortion continuing to influence trends. Population could reach 260 to 265 million by century’s turn if mortality and immigration hold.
