Joe and Jane desperately want to have children, and although they have tried for two years, they have not been successful. Finally, they both agree to consult a specialist, and it turns out that Joe suffers from oligospermia (a low sperm count). He doesn't understand why this would interfere with his ability to have children since he remembers from biology class that "it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg." What should the specialist tell him?
