Aye! I do want him cured! Thane dying just when the Hanar found a cure is just too cruel!!!!!

I'm not really behind the idea of curing Thane's illness, primarily because it flies in the face of the narrative's build up in ME2. I feel like if they wanted to cure Thane, there should have been some indication already that it's possible rather than the whole thing about the Hanaar being unable to find a way to do it.

Not to crush your spirit, but the horse has already been disintegrated into dust. Also, the same topic is being discussed in this thread at the moment.

Especially when the game is pretty much done at this point.

Nay, this is one case where his death would be meaningful. He has the disease, he was stated to be dying, to undo that now would validate the care bear arguments.

But seriously, the reason he was so eager to die was because he'd screwed up his life to the point that there was no point in living it anymore. He even refused a lung transplant.
Reuniting with Kolyat, and perhaps finding love in FemShep, have given him a reason to live again.
Rebirth > Death.

Thanes cool and all but curing the incurable seems just silly. Especially since nothing in ME2 indicated that someone was even close to finding a cure.

Perhaps he should find a new meaning in life, get cured - and then die fighting the reapers anyway. Everybody wins!

Seriously, though, I think there's a chance of having him survive at least to the end credits.

That, or we give him the cure only to find out that it's incredibly poisonous and kills him right on the spot. I'm pretty sure there'd be a riot.

Good idea Wulfram.
I'm pretty sure I heard long ago they were keeping Mass Effect as a trilogy, and that the dozens of expansions would be in Dragon Age universe.
If there were going to be more, I'd be more likely to think it was cool if there was a cure. But knowing Bioware, and wanting a gritty, realistic type of universe, I think he will go out on his own terms. Maybe he will try to live as long as he could for his son. But not everyone goes out in a blaze of glory, it is sorta too cliche.
So i say no cure, I think it would take away from some of nobility of his sacrifices. Plus even though he really rationalizes and separates his assassinating with himself, I still got the sense that things weigh on him. He's had a lot of losses, I think it weighs heavily on him and he deserves peace.

Find a cure but grab the wrong bottle! as Thane chokes to death everyone looks at shep who goes "oooooops wrong bottle" 80s Laughtrack optional.

No cure for Thane preeze.
But, as already covered here (http://social.biowar...index/8794375/7), the debate for whether Thane should live or die seems to come down to how you the player interpreted his romantic arc.
If you interpretted it as, "Thane has always feared death and finally reveals his weakness to Shepard in the final scene, seeking her comfort," then you want him to die. If you interpretted it as, "Thane NOW fears death as he has reasons to live, and lets Shepard know about it in the final scene", then you want him to live. Really, the final romance scene allows for either interpretation.
Thank you, vague writing!

Damn, that's even worse. So not only did we speed up Thane's death, but it was because Shepard decided to be forgetful? Kolyat will not be pleased.
