Glad to see this thread is still here after 6 hours of sleep.

Humans are levo-amino acid based, quarians are dextro-amino acid based. The two physiologies would not intertwine to create offspring because it is biologically not possible.
Goodbye Condoms....Hello Pleasure...
That's the sort of thinking that got shepard into this (pregnant) mess!

Can't breed with any alien. I was one of the people who started talking about this subject a long time ago around january. Bioware says no, but as long as there are artist out there. Have at it. Tali can be as pregnant as you would like, but you have one problem with the tali baby idea. You don't know what quarians look like! So how can tali have a baby if you don't know what she looks like plus you wouldn't know what she looks like. Also if Tali has a baby, because her immune system is weak. She might die! Ahh, I guess the Talimancer would get upset for seeing Tali die. HEHE.
but yet spock a main character is half human... explain.
That is still the point of our posts.
To Clarrify : SPOCK AND OTHER HALF BREEDS COULD NOT HAPPEN, BIOLOGICALLY!!!!
They could not exist in any circumstance, unless the species each had 99% shared DNA they could not create offspring. The Zygote could not form, the gametes would not fuse = no baby.
Not that hard to understand. Star Trek takes some aspects of it's lore too far, especially to those of us who know better. It does not matter if a main character is a half breed, it still doesn't make sense.
I'm not disrespecting Star Trek, im just stating the Facts.
You'd need more than 99% same genetic material. Chimpanzees have 99% of our genetic code and yet we cannot reproduce with them (Why would you?). It would only form from an extreme mutation in that a mutant sperm's acrosome contains more volitile enzymes that are able to enter a normal egg.

Due to the existance of half-breeds in fiction, I would venture a guess that their biological laws are different from real-life.
No she's not. She's an adult, and has been for awhile. They don't send little kids out on pilgrimage. They send out people who are fully matured biologically, and can survive on their own in a very unfriendly-to-Quarian galaxy. If you to talk to Han'Gerrel, he'll tell you he and Rael'Zorah were sent off early, and they were in their late teens at the time. They were also an exception. It's only an arbitrary cultural convention that says they're not adults until they've completed their pilgrimage. Think about it: if you're only an "adult" after completing the pilgramage, then some 80 year old Quarian that never returned to the Migrant Fleet is still technically a "child". I.e., in Quarian culture, it's a status only loosely related to one's actual age.
