It amazes me that people are still saying that it is simply impossible. It is kind of like a person sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "la la la la" because they don't want to hear what I have to suggest. What's funny in a bad sense is that they are trying to make me out as being the same way.

I'm sorry but there are NOT plausible ways of getting around the difficulties for Turian/Humans or Quarian/Humans (or for that matter either Turians or Quarians with any other race in the galaxy).
Why? Chirality. That's why. Quarian and Turian Amino acids (both Proteins and DNA) are "Right-handed" in chirality. Everybody else is left-handed.
That means the DNA from a Quarian (or Turian) can't even link up with human DNA even in a lab, and mixed chirality would be almost instantly lethal anyway to anything above the level of a virus.
The game (correctly) makes a huge deal about this. Quarian/Turian proteins, amino acid, and DNA does not play nice with any other species in the galaxy.

Nailed it.

have to wonder why you didn't quote more of that segment. Didn't work for you?

I have also said how this isn't so different from things bioware has already pulled off. This comes down more to a writing issue than anything else, always does. (not intended for mosor).

It. Is. Not. A. Writing. Issue! How many folk have to tell you this? I am a pro SF writer and my stuff gets checked with scientists for veracity! I cannot just write whatever crap I want and say, "Well it could happen.." I am pretty sure there are other Pro writers on these forums too.
Once upon a time Gerry and Sylvia Anderson wrote a series called "Space 1999" where the moon broke out of Earth orbit and went wandering the galaxy with the moonbase still on it. When finally the program was dying due to dreadfully bad and scientifically wrong writing, the SF community was approached to get a writer to write for them. Everyone refused! Why? No one wanted to be associated with an impossible idea! The whole concept was ludicrous. Anything on the moon would have been hurled off by the colriolis effect (I think it is called), even if it HAD been able to break out of Earth orbit in the first place!
No amount of good writing will make an impossible idea worth anything more than laughing at!

Bioware even went one step further and gave you that freaking quarian/turian conversation in Illium to drive the point home that it WOULDN'T WORK, and you still have your fingers in your ears going "lalala". C wat I did thar?
All you succeed in doing is painting yourself as a rabid fan who cares solely about your personal "wish fulfilment" at the expense of the integrity of the ME universe and its unique set of rules and laws.

There are tons of stories with impossible ideas that aren't laughed at because they are well written.
Star Wars main glaring errors are Han Solo did shoot first, before Lucas re-edited it, and the whole very convenient midiclorian rubbish.

I have to ask. Why would you want a baby in ME, hybrid or otherwise anyway? Don't you have a galaxy to save? Play the sims if you want to RP family life. One those games even allows for hybrids

Quoted for being absolutely ****ing true. Bioware has written themselves into a corner, so to speak, by making it quite clear that turians and quarians differ from humans at fundamental biological levels. To go back and try to "write around" the problem would be a complete departure from their current stand, and would lose them any credibility from any sci-fi fan who cares about such continuity, and at least a passing nod to something approaching scientific veracity.

Neither is Mass Effect. It's just dragon age in space.
