 I've learned that there is only one ending in which Shepherd lives...and it's where you choose to destroy the Reapers, the Geth, and EDI.  How does that make sense when part of Shepherd is non-organic?  Wouldn't s/he have died as well or at least be paralyzed to some extent?  Just a very curious question.

Wouldn't an already mortally wounded Shepard die after being in the epicenter of a self-destructing Citadel that's in high Earth orbit, with all advanced technology being destroyed as well to prevent any space-magic from working either?

No, the endings violate all notions of common sense, logic, physics, and internal consistency.

nothing makes sens in either ending..
and as you said.. part of shepard is non-organic.
if i remember right it was stated in ME2 that most not-viable systems are "enhanced" with synthetics

Actually Salty is wrong with proper context and understanding of the lore, plot, and codex it makes sense. The synthetics are keeping him alive longer than normal. But he's not synthetic fully and only in a few parts... he barely survived the reaper blast from Harbinger before the conduit-beam.

This one is more just a fan-moment part of the ending.

Because turning humans into liquids to make a machine makes loads of sense right?

Science fiction, what does it all mean?

I'm not entirely sure if it would count as Shepard being part-synthetic.

But musing on it, maybe you could look at it that perhaps the Crucible was unsuccessful and merely delayed the next cycle?

Though I'm not really sure what to think about it, I'm pretty sure Shepard didn't have enough cybernetics to qualify as a synthetic--or atleast not enough of one to be mortally effected by the blast alone (the other injuries, however, well. . .).

So considering Shepard is still alive we can assume that either one, they're mostly human and so it didn't effect them, or two, the crucible is merely delaying the Reapers and subsequently the next Cycle.

Shepard goes boom if you destroy the reaper and all the technology with it. His will survive if you take control of the Reaper. You turn into an AI.

Spoiler alert, having a the best possible ending and destroying everything, we see Shepards chest plate and then taking a deep breath.

Hurray cliff hangers.

AI's don't work like that, it seems more that your consciousness is downloaded to the Guardian and your protocol overrides the Reapers and sends them back but its inferred that doing this doesn't control the Reapers merely let you survive unless you need the Reapers.

Nothing about the game endings make sense.
