Laptops – no good for male reproductive health

There is a report which says : keeping lap tops on lap during it’s use is dangerous for the reproductive health of men, even with a lap pad under the computer. The rise in temperature around the scrotum rises above the level considered safe for the sperm production. According to the American Urological Association report, nearly one in six couples in the US have trouble in conceiving!

This is an important piece of information which needs to be given good coverage and the manufacturers of laptops should be educated in this aspect. Governments should take notice of this massive potential public health hazard. Laptop should be used on desktop?
