Antisperm antibodies, boxers versus briefs, sperm count and motility: UCSF urologist and male fertility specialist Paul Turek tackled these subjects as he fielded more than 30 questions -- from as far away as Germany -- in an “online chat” with viewers of ABC’s Good Morning America.

They had just seen his interview with Joan Lunden and the network’s report on a test, developed at UCSF, that determines if a non-moving sperm is "alive" rather than "dead" and capable of initiating pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (see yesterday’s Daybreak story). Nearly 100 viewers “logged in” to query Turek about male fertility and new developments in the 60 minute “chat” from his VA Medical Center Office.
