Apparently we can mix synthetic DNA () with organic DNA, so I guess with sufficient space magic we can also make a turian-human baby.

Gonna have to go with this. The endings threw out common sense, so why can't two incompatible species mate and produce offspring? If Space Magic can do the above on a galatic level, then obviously it exists on a mere personal level. <_<

What is this space magic you speak of -  Head canon has negated  the time stream of events after   Cerberus base mission and replaced them with new events.

Too bad coz i wanted qumans

Adopt some. Not to be morbid, but there's probably plenty of orphans to go around following the reaper invasion. 

  

^ This... 

So much this ... adopt a few orphans one of the each race  major race and have  big happy family.    

a baby hanar will be so cute

You can get Jack pregnant, no reason was ever given to say you can't. Unless her very open lifestyle and multiple partners ended up getting in the way of that.

You can't get pregnant from dancing.. But you can get the paramour achievement..

I wish I can completely forget that abomination of an ending and just remember the end of the Cerberus base mission. Headcanon sadly can't do that as much as I try.

according to a certain stock photo apparently there are quarian human hybrids <_<

Well, I guess it would be theoretically possible with the aid of some cutting edge geneticists, test tubes, gene splicing and enough resources. It would be completely impossible the natural way.

I was just wondering because I always thought it would have been cool for Shepard to have a son or daughter at the end of the games (obviously that's not going to happen). I think I read here and there that Quarians and Turians cannot reproduce with humans (I romanced Tali, and if I played as FemShep I'd romance Garrus). Anyone know if that's true.

I don't know. First question would be: do Turians and Quarians have as many chromosomes as humans do?

Then we have the difference in amino acids, which according to Mordin could cause alergic reactions, potentially lethal if femshep would receive Garrus's...

Ask yourself this important question: Can you Impregnate your dog?

The odds of you succeeding are far greater then doing it with an alien strictly based on genetics, since the dog is far more closely related to you then any alien. Take a 300 level Genetics course when you hit college, everything will be explained there.

Meh, might be possible if you pick synthesis >_>... i mean, who knows what exactly that thing did.

But other than that.... well, only in fanfiction, i know people who do fanfiction are insane enough to come up with that, they come up with the most nonsensical stuff anyway XD.

And id guess its possible for Shepard to have a child, with a human or Liara.

[lordofdogtown19]

It's alright. Adopt baby Korgan. I guess you could adopt a human, quarian, or turian, but thats no fun

[Subject9x]

yeah....no hybrids; genetically impossible (all space magic aside)
I just assumed my Shep and Tali adopted a quarian or two and maybe a human, if only for the best grounds for a new sitcom.

Can a deer have children with a wolf?

[Pottumuusi]

This is pretty basic biology; members of different species cannot produce (fertile)offspring.

Then again, the ending involves combining organic and synthetic DNA to achieve the final level of evolution, so I guess anything is possible.

[katamuro]

yes its impossible. Quarians and turians are dextro amino acid based. Even if they were, turians are avian species and quarians have very weak immunities so being pregnant with a hybrid baby would probably kill her. Asari only carry asari. Salarians and krogan are both egg layer species. Batarians are probably too different too.

Theoretically possible, yes. And probably much easier to engineer a hybrid amongst levo-based species.

But controversy and legal problems would be major hurdles. When Dr Minador Lux published a paper on using experimental gene therapy to double the Vorcha lifespan, it was met with condemnation and controversy amonst the galaxy's scientific community. 

And that was simply extensive genetic therapy using the Vorcha's natural adaptive regeneration process, and working from there. Nothing really radical was proposed, it seems.

Now if that was an issue, one can imagine the idea of creating outright hybrids could create a sh*tstorm of monumental proportions.

Btw, Miranda is infertile, so the only squad members you can get pregnant are Ashley and Liara (kinda).

Bah. Miranda brought a human back to life. It's laughable to assume she can't cure her own condition if she wants. The infertility was a cheap shot by the writers, badly thought through.

It was implied that her infertility was because her genetics were so different from that of a normal human that they couldn't combine with anyone else's and produce offspring.

Javik reinforces this in ME3 when he states that he senses a former crew member whose genetic makeup was unnatural, referring to Miranda.

My Shepard may be made of steel but she'd draw the line had having Garrus' baby even if it were somehow possible.
All those pointy bits? No ty.

Wow, all these comments dancing around but not outright saying "ingest".

Implying that a Turian younglings features (i.e all the pointy bits) would be fully formed at birth? Hell forget Shepard, think of the Turian woman, logically it must not be that bad if they survived as a species for as long as they have.

Why wouldn't they be? Their joints and feet wouldn't be any less pointy at birth. The head is debatable.
Regardless, Turian women would obviously be built to handle it.

[GroverA125]

Conventionally? No. Via Genetics? Possible.

For two species to be able to breed, they must have identical chromosome numbers and a similar system of DNA (if it goes D-L and R-W, it's probably not going to happen). BUT. It is incredibly possible if you allow a mad scientist to go at you reproduction cells with a chainsaw and a nuclear bomb.

So, with a technological jump of 1000 years means that it is incredibly plausible, but personally, I really wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of that chainsaw...

Well, taking into account that we do admittedly not know all the gory details, since they give birth to live young there would have to be a decent amount of fluid to prevent that sort of thing from happening, right? Whats to say the pointy bits don't flesh out and settle in as the child matures? Think of the leg spurs, i really doubt they would be fully formed at birth. Subtle ridges yes, but pointy enough to cause harm to the mother? I just don't think thats logically sound is all.

Course this is just using knowledge based around all current known mamallian methods of birth. Course i could also be thinking about this, disturbingly, a bit too much....
