I don't think the production staff "shies away" from subjects like reproduction or death for those reasons. In general MLP is a light-hearted and fun entertaining show with the occasional poignant moments, and I think they strive to put as much of that into each 22-minute installment as they can rather than trying to be noted for broaching potentially controversial subjects. They simply leave that up to other shows.

But of course this is just my theory.
