There's an article on CNN Prescription drugs found in drinking water across U.S. about how prescription drugs are ending up in the water supply. One of the most interesting findings reported in the article is that "male fish are being feminized." With all the estrogen from birth control pills making it's way into nature, the male fish are being impacted.
What does this mean for the future of male species? Can't you just see the intro to the movie? A woman and a man are in there home... the woman pops one of the pills out of the easily recognizable birth control pill dispensers, grabs a swig of water and then uses the toilet. The audience watches and the water flushed down makes it's way through the processing facility and finally ends up with a scientist pulling a fish out of the water and commenting on how something is off with the fish. The scene fades, and a big future date comes on the screen....
It's easy to predict what would happen with too much estrogen in the water system. What about these other drugs?
