Working testicles/ovaries are not vital to stopping an invading fleet.

My shep begs to differ, besides if his testes flat out didn't work I don't know if he could nail his LIs.

Why wouldn't he? Teste's arn't vital to actual sex, only reproduction.

Isn't it important to Sexual Drive? bear with me as I know only of biology from psychological biology and even then my memory is fuzzy

Yes and no. While testes do contribute to the production of hormones, you can still get an erection and have an active sex life. The men who do lose sexual performance because of a loss of testicles, (Like say testicular torsion) they just get a testosterone replacement therapy. We can assume with the codex and the advancement of medical technology, something as simple as testosterone replacement would be a piece of cake.

The only thing I would be concerned about is femshep and her eggs, but I am not an expert on a womans body, so I could just be concerned for nothing.

Um, not sure what you're basing that judgement on. I'm guessing gross anatomy, but that doesn't really matter.  Tissue is tissue, and the recipe for making any kind of tissue is in the DNA of every cell. And organs are of course just collections of particular types of tissue in particular arrangements.  If you know what "switches" to throw, you can grow any kind of tissue or organ you like.

It's not just growing tissue, you have to be able to program it to do what it is supposed to do.

 DNA replication is something nearly every cell can do (exceptions being things like erythrocytes, which lack nuclei in mammals), because, well, it's sort of a fundamental process of biology.  It's a normal part of cell division. Germline cells just do cell division a bit differently, but a lot of the mechanisms are more or less identical.  And germ cells aren't somehow magically different.  They're still cells, and their behavior is controlled by what genes are expressed, like any other cell. 

Testes and Ovaries don't reproduce the entire genetic code, only half of it. Very specific halves.

Just because he/she can't reproduce normally doen't mean he/she cannot use artifical means.

Shepard wants to bust an actual cap in the Reaper's ass, not a metaphorical one.

Speak for your Shepard

His cybernetics could be set to release synthetic testosterone as his body calls for it. Thus completing the illusion. But odds are when Shepard gets a little alone time, he will notice if there wasn't any gas in his tank. Soft tissue can take some pretty serious damage and still be ok, maybe his "boys" are original equipment. Of course any significant damge, such as falling from orbit, would pretty much neutralize any serious kind of production. Even if they returned to normal.

The lack of an ovulation cycle should be the big tipper for Femsheps.

, now that's just mean.

I suspect even the most talented followers of Rule 34 would have a hard time matching up a 2km ship with a 2m man.

Blame Cerberus for not installing thermal clips in your gun.
