The tongue-in-cheek decree was intended to shine a light on a French village school that faces closure.
The mayor of a small community in north-central France has introduced an unusual municipal by-law to encourage locals to reproduce.
Only around 650 people live in Debouzy’s village, The Local reported, and the mayor fears low birthrates will force the school to close or merge with another. “A village without children is a village that dies,” he told the outlet. The little blue pills—which turned 20 last year—revolutionized treatment for erectile dysfunction in men. But this does not mean their widespread distribution is a good solution to low fertility rates. A 2004 study suggested Viagra might even reduce fertility in men, as The New Scientist noted at the time.
But, as France 3 pointed out, it’s likely the by-law is intended to shine light on a local problem, rather than actually solve it. Another Loiret mayor previously issued a bylaw banning sickness in an attempt to highlight inadequate local health services, the publication noted. Debouzey indicated to The Local that he had similar ambitions for his initiative.In the U.S., birth rates have dropped to a historic low, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
