The possibility of a hybrid child presents a plotline that could have greater implications and effect on the ME universe as a whole. If developed properly, this could add even more depth to an already epic story.  Naturally there is debate over whether or not this should be in third game. I propose that a compromise is used in a way that everyone could accept.
 
I suggest creating a mission in which Shepard is sent to investigate a research facility which has developed many advances into the bioengineering field. This facility would have research pertaining the modification of existing genes to enhance or alter the abilities of the subject upon which it is used. I’m not suggesting that this was developed to create hybrid children. It is much more probable that the research was meant more for racial advancement and military use than for anything like this. It is much more likely that this use and potential medical use will come up first and with greater emphasis. However, given the right conditions, the possibility potentially modifying the technology to creating a hybrid child would come up as a potential use.
 
The compromise comes in as Shepard is given a range of choices on how to use the research, or if to use it at all. He could choose to use it for hybrid children, medical use, military use, destroy it, or possibly other options. The point being that, if developed properly, would allow the player to experience a mission that could have a variety of outcomes. People who want a hybrid child could have it and people who don’t could use it for other things, or even destroy it.
 
A few things to clarify before I continue: The above plotline is a basic example given to show how this could work. There are a number of other things that might work and the mission would be more complex than this, again only a suggestion. Also, I am NOT proposing that there be a pregnancy in the game. Any hybrid child that could be made would be mentioned at the end of the game, not created before.
 
Some might feel that creating a hybrid child is too improbable to be used in the story. I understand why they might think so, particularly with the problem of dextro vs. levo. However, I disagree as genetic research, development, and alteration have been brought up a number of times throughout the story. Without getting into too much detail, genetic research and modification are common throughout the story, especially among the military. Genetic enhancements are used on soldiers, gene therapy is common for curing defects, cloning is possible on a large scale, the collectors proved that extensive genetic re-write is possible, and Cerberus experiments provide but one example of how this genetic research could be developed and their intended use versus what they might actually accomplish. This would likely be created for racial advancement first, medical advancement second, and creating a hybrid child a third distinct minority but it would still be possible.
 
Legal and ethical issues wouldn’t likely be an issue either. Some might argue that a hybrid child would be a pariah, disowned by his community. That may happen, or it might not. The asari already have a philosophy that might make them more accepting of hybrid children. Also friends and relatives of the family might accept the child out of bonds to the parents. The genetics of the child also carry the possibility of encouraging more interracial couples to have children. As for legal issues, the council or any smaller government would likely not have much say in this as their authority only extends to a certain point. There is much of the galaxy in which they have little or no say, and even without these areas they would likely not be able, or willing, to intervene in individual personal lives.

Six months, and still at it.

The cult of Tali is persistent if nothing else.

[tiberius_adamantine]

not just about tali, this is for all interracial couples

I object. This post discriminates against the lazy and I object.



I had to read like two thirds of the way through your post to figure out what the hell you were even talking about.

This is why we(Talimancers) can't have nice things.

There aren't going to be hybrids. It. Is. Not. Biologically. Possible.

I disagree with you. Won't be easy but not impossible. Everything is impossible until it is done.

Starcraft 2 and other sources have taught me to kill every hybrid I come into contact with anyway.

No, seriously. There are scientific reasons behind why it isn't possible. At least for Quarian/Human and Turian/Human. Those two are definately impossible.

I already acknowledged that obstacle. It may still be possible to find some way around that.

lol, this is pathetic. You're trying to convince people to help you solve a fictional dilemma arbitrarily created by Bioware.

[MTN Dew Fanatic]

I don't like hybrids, the Prius being a prime example of why.

[ManBearPig91]

Kill it with fire!

[PWENER]

Can you have a baby witha dog? NO, so stop making these weird treads... freaks.



Turians can't even eat human food without dying of poisoning, so how the hell is Femshep going to have Garrus's child...



MY GOD!!! give it up people.

...You can't just find a way around incompatible biology. This isn't Jurassic Park. Life ain't findin' a way around this one.

The solution isn't difficult to come up with.

It's only racist if he would have wrote "Clan members" in place of "Starcraft 2"

Like I've already stated, there are plausible ways of getting around this. All it really comes down to is bioware's ability to add it to the story.

Bioware already wrote biological incompatibilty by making Turians/Quarians share a different body-chemical system that is poisonous(or vice versa) to humans.

They've also brought up different genetic engineering/experiments a number of times as well. Enough times to make this plausible.
