I thought Elementary touched on this pretty well. There's an episode with a subplot where one of Sherlock's lady friends announces she wants to have a baby and is wondering if Sherlock would be willing to be the father. I'm pretty sure he says no in the end, but he had to give it some thought. At one point, he asks Joan if she ever thought about having kids and she says something like "Oh, I don't know, maybe." (I don't know if that was supposed to be "Maybe I want kids someday" or "Maybe I've thought about it" - I guess it depends on how old Joan is supposed to be, since if she's the same age as Lucy Liu, that's too old to be "Maybe someday" about it). Joan doesn't outright say no, but she definitely doesn't seem very interested in the subject of babies.

I agree with you that it would usually be awkward to bring up the subject. If you have a plot where a character finds out she's sterile and her response is "Whatever, I don't want kids" and no one else has any kind of reaction, then why did you even bother writing that plotline?
