while a quarian/ human child is definatly not possible, apparently the only hybrid offspring that is even remotely possible is human/ batarian....

Given how Batarian males look the females of the species would have to be borderline goddesses or you'd have tp be really plastered 24/7/365 to be with a Batarian.

My biggest concern with this kind of topic is why people want children?

If we could see Quarian DNA structure and we could compare it to human dna we could get answer. right now we can only speculate.

The short answer...

The short answer is no - definitely not.  A quarian and a human can never create a child. 

The long answer...
All life on earth is descended from one original species.  Over time the species have branched out until they reached the diversity of todays world.  This will continue pretty much until the end of the world.  At some point in human evolution we diverged into several ape species.

Try to create an offspring with a bonobos or a chimpanzee - some of our closes relatives with around 99% same dna and genes.  (seriously though dont try it...).

You would have to take the quarian genome and rewrite it to something else that was compatible with another creature. At this point it would NOT be a quarian.  It would be a human or something so close they could breed.  (or a human and change it to a quarians).  Thats not even h

An analogy would be asking if a dog can create an offspring with a human?  Sure.  If you changed the dog's dna and genes so it was a literally and physically a human.  (or close enough to allow for a child to be concieved).

What you are asking is pretty much definitely a NO.

This isnt speculation.  This is fact.  Unless you believe that quarians could be possibly more related to humans than chimps are.

No, they can't.

Frankly, I can't even get my head round how they can have sex at all.

You're just not thinking about it hard enough.

Babies Ever After, man. It's one of our oldest tropes. Symbolization of the continuation of life and the future and all that jazz. Love and stuff. Zen.

Still weirds me out that people are under the impression that crossbreeding between alien species is possible and/or desireable though(hybrid children would raise so many ethical and moral concerns, not to mention the damage to their own psyche from knowing they're some kind of sterile science project, that I don't see why it would ever be done).

Being a hybrid between two species would be pretty awesome. Best of both worlds.

No. The very definition of SPECIES is they cannot interbreed. Human and quarian are different species and could no more produce a child than a human and a dog. In fact, because the two species don't even use the same protein makeup, the human and dog are far more likely.

Is it possible in ME3 universe to quarian and human have a childrens? Both races are almost same, but (not good compare, i know) if donkey and horse breed they can have children, and they are other species. i know this doneky/horse can have no children. so what about Quarian and Humans?  genetic is enough advanced to allow breed them?

i just want to know, becouse i think a lot about possible Shepard/Tali childrens

//sorry weak english

You are more likely to sire a child if you **** a donkey than if you screwed Tali.

It's be far less enjoyable though. Unless you're really into donkeys, in which case...  good for you, I guess?

Put a space suite on it, and a mask to hide the face, and then all you'd have people saying was 'DAT ASS.'

I think people are forgetting the importance of space magic with space magic anything is possible including a human / quarian kid.

Because it's an achievement they cannot do in reality.

[VistaSoldier]

THINK about this.
For two species to be able to reproduce, they need to be almost identical. Genetically, they need to be 99.99% similar. And even then, the offspring would be sterile and would have many genetic problems.
Let alone have two species with completely different DNA. They can't even eat the same food!

If Human/Quarian or Human/Turian reproduction was possible, we would have seen half human/quarians or half human/turians in the games.

[Gaurthurt]

to avoid spoiler there is something more impossible then over-species orphan - sythesis
anyway yea its difficult for me to accept but i think they cant have children. now i just have hope a space magick can change it, or veeery good scientist like mordin
anyway in mass effect everything should be possible we got
synthesis, gian mass relays, space machines that clear whole galaxy every 50k years, and much more (i cant say to avoid spoiler)

For the better - most people should never have children, for the children's sake, and the world is overpopulated anyways.

not at all. many humans are xenophophobic. also humans are viable on space fot short time. and also there is very small chance to see human/quarian or human/turian offspring, becouse Shepard doesnt walk from home to home and ask about hybrids

hey youse guys doan give Casey/Walters-ridin' dat train, high on red sand - enuf creditz - after zynthesis best-ever ending - even Joker and Edi have kidz - Xcpet EDI need ceasarian section, so had to uze cutting torch and bolt cutter - babie fine, but batteries not included - so guess quman have ambidextrous portreens - haa has dat casey gue gotsome magination, him./

Exactly. It is an achievement that one should not look foward too.

Looks do not equal genetics. It doesn't matter how similar one things looks to another- it doesn't mean they can interbreed. You rarely can breed with something insanely close to your genetics. Hybrids in ME do not exist. Asari breeding is not considered hyrbidising.

As far as Quarians go, the DNA is so far apart that you are more similar to just about any mammal on earth than you are a Quarian. There is ZERO chance for turian/quarian hybrid babies.

[Cylon King]

In real life it is not possible but this is Sci-fi so anything it possible.
Look at Star Trek for example Humans and Vulcans are able to mate even though Vulcans have copper based blood.
Bioware could say there was a humanoid species that that lived millions of years previously created and leaving a "seed" genetic code on different planets if might be possible for it to happen.

[Legion64]

They're able to have sex, but there is nothing about having a baby.

[Gaurthurt]

it would be cool if some dev would explain this

[OlympusMons423]

No it can't happen. I did think it would be a bitter-sweet thing to bring up if Tali were Shepard's love interest, after that ending. If you consider Liara could have Shepard's child, even if they never did sleep together officially.

Lets assume Liara did once have a love affair with him. Now Imagine Liara asking Tali if it would be OK with her, if she went through with having Shepard's child. If Liara gave that gift at the end parting scenes, it might suggest more than just that VI that she wanted to leave behind of him... Rather sadly Tali asks if Liara could borrow a bit of her genetic make up, to mix in with the man she loved...so that in a way they could share in something they never could in real life alone. Right away Tali corrects herself, knowing its impossible...or maybe Liara does this. Sorry there is no 3 ways of making a baby, only 2 can combine.

Tali slumps a bit. We as players then are given a choice to agree to let Liara do this or not. I could see something like this in a scene on the garden planet in an extended cut. It is more about the state of heart than being married to 100% fact, but understandable I think.

NOW to get maybe a bit R rated. If a Quarian/human thing were to happen, there is the very real problem of bodily fluids. Mordin even warns in ME2 about mouth to body contact, which would be pretty damn hard to comply with I think. For sure Tali and Sheoard go mouth to mouth at some point in the heat fo passion. Maybe mouth to, well, you get the picture. I addition to this, and sorry if this is a bit to frank for some...what about the semen. Would it be too toxic to put where it normally would be put in a lover situation?

Obviously there would be plenty of incoveniences in a relationship like this. The fact the Tali states how her body is getting use to Shepards, suggest at least some of these thing would go away over a great amount of time...but the very nature of it means it would not be ever a very casual, impulsive matter for either side, if it were a Quarian human love affair.

It's funny, but even though it has been in other science fiction stories, I never really thought about what it really meant, taboo wise, or even on a spiritual, intellectual level, what something like a Tali and Shepard getting together in this way. If something was close enough to you, but obviously not the same species, what a big step it would be to take. Is it wrong? Is it hopeful and more about our soul? What really counts? Just an interesting question I think.

This. This. Oh sweet lordy this. We would have seen some human/quarians by now if it were possible. The humans have been in the galactic community for 30+ years. That is enough time for experimenting.
