weapons, poisoning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> planet, <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r secret projects that <strong>the</strong><br />

Administrators <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir minions in <strong>the</strong> Military Industrial Complex<br />

(MIC) are conducting on <strong>the</strong> planet <strong>and</strong> on mankind, fertility in both men<br />

<strong>and</strong> women has been affected. Couples who wish to have children<br />

sometimes spend a fortune trying everything possible in <strong>the</strong> medical field<br />

in order for <strong>the</strong> woman to become pregnant. At times it works, o<strong>the</strong>r times<br />

it does not. Fewer <strong>and</strong> fewer people can have children <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own; men’s<br />

sperms are becoming useless in more <strong>and</strong> more cases, <strong>and</strong> women in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

most fertile age can’t make <strong>the</strong> sperm stick to <strong>the</strong> egg, or <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

miscarriages.<br />

We are told that research has been done in this field, <strong>and</strong> people are<br />

holding <strong>the</strong>ir breath, hoping a breakthrough is on <strong>the</strong> horizon. Lo <strong>and</strong><br />

behold! In spite <strong>of</strong> many skeptics’ pessimistic predictions that something<br />

revolutionary will develop anytime soon in this field, a breakthrough may<br />

now be just around <strong>the</strong> corner; at least, if <strong>the</strong> infertility is on <strong>the</strong> male’s end.<br />

If <strong>the</strong> woman is fertile, but <strong>the</strong> man has slow-swimming sperms (which is<br />

<strong>the</strong> most common reason for infertility [see article excerpt below]), what<br />

may be one solution is now presented in <strong>the</strong> media. The Daily Mail published<br />

an article from January 13, 2006 that read,<br />

Microscopic machines propel slow swimming sperm toward <strong>the</strong> egg<br />

…One <strong>of</strong> five men have been diagnosed with slow swimmers, which makes<br />

low sperm motility a leading cause <strong>of</strong> infertility.<br />

Artificial insemination <strong>and</strong> reproduction technologies are options, but <strong>the</strong><br />

average success rate is under 30 percent.<br />

In order to beat <strong>the</strong> odds, a group <strong>of</strong> researchers are developing spermbots,<br />

which could act as a motor that pushes <strong>the</strong> sperm towards <strong>the</strong> egg.<br />

Researchers from <strong>the</strong> Institute for Integrative Nanosciences at IFW<br />

Dresden used a tiny magnet, made <strong>of</strong> titanium <strong>and</strong> nickel, to create <strong>the</strong><br />

metal helices.<br />

The coil is just big enough to wrap around <strong>the</strong> tail <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sperm <strong>and</strong> mimics<br />

a microscopicmotor by propelling <strong>the</strong> sperm to <strong>the</strong> egg with <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> a<br />

rotating magnetic field.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> sperm makes contact with an egg, it wiggles itself inside <strong>and</strong> out<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spermbot.<br />
