Shepard, for all we know, isn't even Human anymore. I even doubt it's really the Shepard from ME1 given how he was DEAD! Frigging DEAD! You can't bring a person back to life with science! It's not impossible, it's goddamn crazy!

Okay, good, I got that out of my system. Now to the task at hand. Shepard was found dead, rebuild, and then revived by unknown means BW is too lazy to come up with. I even had to make my own excuse to sleep better at night (see sig). Shepard isn't human anymore, that's my prorogative. I also estimate that Shepard (M/F) is also infertile and unable to have kids due to dying and being rebuild.

WHY: Testicles hold the spermazoidz (lol) that are introduced with the female's version of them to conceive life. Shepard was a rotting corpes when he/she was found. Either of these two were damaged. I believe, given what we know (nothing), that Shepard cannot have children by any means (artificial insemination included). The alternative would be "little blue girls" with Liara, but Shepard's nerveous system may also have been damaged beyond repair, leaving him unable to reproduce with asari.

Sad stuff, but very possible. Now to the next issue.

I heard the Shadow Borker was investigating's Shepard's resurrection, and was looking into Shepard's possible longetivity being extremely short. He estimated shepard would die off from the Lazarus's imperfection in a couple of months. The thing is, by the time ME3 hits, it has been 1y. and several months. Shepard did not die. This gives hint to Shepard having new longetivity. At the start of ME2, Shepard tells Jacob that his "head feels like an overripe melon ready to split open". later this feeling disappears and he "never felt better". So this means that Shepard is now "upgraded". Miranda claims she will live half as much as the avarage Human. Humans in 2186 live to the maximun of 150 years of age. So she'll live to be around 225 years. This is science fiction people, remember! So by my knowledge, shepard may surpass that, being better then Miranda. Shepard could even live as much as an Asari, or may even be immortal now! Immortal? Yes, immortal.

Shepard isn't Human, Shepard is a cyborg. half machine, half organic. Shepard has nodes scattered all over his body, possily keeping him alive or wathever it is that they do.

And that's what she wrote. Any more mindless speculation can be imputed below, hope you do.

Bah, it's science fiction!  Who cares how it works?  It's AWESOME!!!  Stop thinking so much!

But yeah, I'm almost positive Shep is now some sort of human/Reaper hybrid, perhaps a potential Reaper version of Kerrigan. 

Honestly, a big part of whether I get ME 3 right away or wait for a bargain bin will be whether they address what the frak the Lazarus Project entailed.

Even more reason for the Reapers to be interested in Shepard.


Regarding the topic, the thought has crossed my mind at least once ever since Shepard's "resurrection". S/he's definitely not all human anymore. But just how well has Cerberus reconstructed him/her? Well enough to be able to enjoy a healthy existence? Just how much has it crippled/improved Shepard's capabilities, both extraordinary and mundane?

Definitely something to think about.

Humans can only live to be 150 in 2186? ....Scientists were talking about about humans being able to live forever in the next 40 years, 8 years ago.

It will never be released because the earth would overpopulate too quickly after that, we would have to start major space travel and exploration.

@The-Person, isn't that more or less the same thing? lol

[Antivenger]

I doubt Bioware would make note of Shepard's ability to produce sperm or ova. Cryopreservation before ME1 maybe?

Here is my 2 cents:

First off alot of things would never be released be cause its more profitable to have, such as cancer, huge money maker.

Second, we can't live forever because unless we could escape this universe into another it will die thus causing our deaths.

Third, the planet is already over populated and we should already be doing massive space exploration yet here we all are on our asses shooting at one another. So immortality wouldn't really change much.

uhm......it will not matter to my shepard because he romanced Liara so........

It's going to happen;  from what I remember in the journal they were able to make rats live 6 times longer than normal; and this was years ago. They know how it works, but not how to do it. Once they figure out how to cause the cells in your body to rejuvenate it's pretty much game over.

Or lack there of, lol. 

edit: well in any case if what you say is true then I'm glad Im only 18 cause I have a good shot at seeing this tech if it happens in the next 20-40 years and enjoy it for the next 600..?

I wouldn't be surprised if cryopresevation of reproductive material is a benefit offered to Alliance troops who have high risk jobs (Commando/Special Forces definately counts).  David Weber's Honorverse mentions how the (fabulously wealthy) Star Kingdom of Manticore makes that available for it's service members.

Of course, the mercanitle entrepot of an entire galaxy has a far different economic structure than a relatviely new and expanding empire.

He's only like half human now.It leaves a lot of questions.

I'm kind wondering about Shepard's longevity too. Cerberus brought him back for a suicide mission so chances are good they didn't go into Lazarus planning on giving him a long lifespan. I'm thinking Shep in ME3 is living on borrowed time so that either way this mission is his last.

If I play another game where the main character dies at the end,  I am going to rage.

[marshalleck]

Shepard's death and resurrection won't be addressed in ME3 unless Mac Walters used his fat bonus from ME2 to take some community college creative writing courses. It was a stupid plot mechanic they swept under the rug almost as soon as it was revealed.

Technically, Shepard is dead. Two years and his brain would have been beyond hope of repair, after 6 minutes without oxygen and brain damage is permanent. Even if Cerberus were able to rebuild the actual brain, there is no way they could rebuild his actual memories, his sense of self. My guess is his "brain" is a cybernetic mechanism programmed with as much detail of Shepard's life as possible.
