At some point, Vlad says that Dragaerans can not get pregnant
accidentally.  Either he's being flippant and exaggerating the
situation (quite possible) or they have some sort of birth control
mechanism (innate or applied) to achieve this.  So, in essence, all
pregnancies are planned.  The age differences in children, and the
number of children would be strictly controlled.  No?

Has this been discussed before?  I feel like I'm borrowing
someone's argument.
