I'm not big on the overall lore, but yeah, I'm pretty sure all mages of note are sterile. And this would probably help play into how she feels about Ciri, being the lover of the man trying to be a father figure to her would naturally lead Yen into being a motherly figure towards Ciri.
It was only just a couple of months ago that I finally looked up the lyrics. "Barley" is not a word I'd keep in mind, especially used to such a degree in a romantic song. So now it makes sense to me, but I went so long thinking "WTF is this song?"
I gave Gene Rodenberry's Andromeda a watch on RokuTV. Very enjoyable until the last season. Also, same service, I watched the John Wick movies. Some good classics, especially 80's TV (Airwolf, A-Team).
Something I did find on Pluto TV though- the original 70's Kamen Rider.
There's a point you have to find the sort of compromise that'll protect you the most. In this case- don't outlaw the practice, outlaw the use of federal and state funding for anything that does practice it (allow for "the agreed exceptions" to be performed in actual hospitals with proper evidence and documentation). If they can't run their operations without it, they're a money laundering scam.
