		<description><![CDATA[MSNBC had this article on the lowering age of sexual maturity among girls. This article tracks an overall decline in the age of breast development. It reminded me of a series of papers I&#8217;ve read about the declining age of first menstruation.

		<description><![CDATA[by Michael Cook In the US alone an estimated 30,000-60,000 children are born each year through sperm donation, yet no entity is required to report on these vital statistics.

		<description><![CDATA[Great article by a Ruth Institute Academic Advisory Board Member. By Jennifer Lahl, CBC National Director Newsweek recently reported a story about a 51-year-old man, who between 1980 and 1994 donated his sperm twice a week in order to make cash for medical school and to nurture his altruistic desires to help infertile women.
