Men and Infertility: Researchers at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology report that while the study of the psychological impact of infertility generally focuses on women, men suffer just as much, particularly over time. Infertile couples often find, whether the difficulties lie with the woman or the man, that social support networks tend to deteriorate. “Men who are particularly affected by fertility problems should be considered for counselling, since this may improve their mental well-being as well as their perception of their social environment. Given the level of suffering we found among men, it is important to continue to research into their needs.”

Scary Movie: Mandy Moore stars in the romantic comedy License to Wed, in which Moore must undergo prenuptial counseling with a crazed pastor (Robin Williams). Part of the marriage training includes caring for robot babies. Shares Moore, “Those robot babies were about 15 pounds each, and I had twins in the movie. They were really heavy and they smelled really bad. Those babies felt like sweaty rubber. It definitely went against that old saying that all babies are cute. Having something that looked like James Cagney as a baby is not my ideal.”
