Maybe. There is some evidence that the decline in fertility rates are associated with overweight and obesity. Social and biological factors leave having children more difficult when one is outside of a "normal" weight range. If everyone is on Ozempic, they might have more children, requiring more overall food and harming even more animals in the process.

It's reported it reduces a series of impulsive behaviours. Would it extend to sex? If people are less willing to have sex, maybe broad consumption of the medicine will further drop fertility rates.
