US students 'race' sperm in reproductive health stunt

  • Eric Zhu, a 17-year-old high schooler, organized an unusual sperm race event in Los Angeles on a recent Friday night.
  • Zhu created the event to raise awareness of male infertility amid conflicting scientific studies and social media claims of declining sperm counts.
  • The race involved pipetted semen samples from contestants on two-millimeter tracks, magnified and broadcast live on YouTube to over 100,000 viewers.
  • Zhu expressed concern about a possible bleak future where having children might no longer be possible and wanted the event to draw attention to reproductive health. Meanwhile, a spectator named Felix Escobar remarked that while it’s difficult to verify the authenticity of the competition, he hoped it was genuine.
  • The event reflects concerns shared by the pro-natalist movement, though Zhu denied links to figures like Elon Musk, who publicly worries about population decline threatening the West.
