If you eliminated the concept of childbirth, you'd eliminate people all together. That was probably the logic there.
[Fae logic is...hard. Alucard can follow it if he tilts his head and squints, trying to be literal, but he doesn't like it one bit. It's too alien, and he was a thing raised by scientists who wanted to add nuance and question every part of the world. The fae are the opposite of that.
At the word trick, he tries not to automatically correct. It's easier, he's found, to try and find what Trevor's latched onto and then elaborate on it. Speaking with authority, but clearly understanding the fae's perspective. It works. Or seems to.]
Essentially, yes. There may still be complications, as nature is impossible to predict, but there are techniques and ways to improve it. And other parts of human health too, that helps stop the spread of things like the plague and other illnesses. But because it's so new, and because it flies in what is thought to be true, you...a man can tell others it is all witchcraft and devils, and they'll take him at his word because in their eyes, he is a man of God and thus an authority.
[With that, Alucard's shoulders slump forward.]
My father would have him strung up in his own church, given the chance. [HE IS NOT HERE. Alucard can see it now.] Then it would be the devil lending credence to the man's argument, and thus making the problem so much worse.
[It could still happen. Alucard loves his father, but the flair for the dramatic is a problem at times.]

Is she still safe?
