Honest to god OP, do you want like, getting "friendship" status with Thane to make him get cured from a terminal illness? It's also quite stupid and baffling that Shepard would offset hundreds-if not hundreds-of thousands of lives just to find a cure for a ill-drell, who happends to be his friend. That's nothing short of but a renegade act, and a stupid act regardless.
He's no doctor, he's not going to conjure some magical potion, there are bigger things at stake.
Er, may I remind you that curing the Genophage was probably hammered in even more that there wasn't a cure in both ME1 and ME2 and even in ME3, Primarch Victus states that a cure would be decades away. And, oh, look at that, Genophage is cured in ME3.
And, then, looking at Kepral's Syndrome (Which is retcon'd between games mind you), it is left in the more positive side that it can be cured and Thane can survive.
By the way, I'd say it would be more Paragon than Renegade. Renegades get the job done. They don't care what they have to do, Its done and done quick. A paragon stops to help the old lady cross the street in the process of getting said job done.
They could have simply come back to Thane in ME3 and he's recovering from the lung transplant. They didn't have to have a giant mission arc of finding a cure; one already existed.
And, lets see what Shepard does...Shepard spends Mass Effect 2 creating a relationship with his squadmates and clearing up the skeletons in the closets while thousands of human colonies are attacked so that they can latter pull of the Suicide Mission without anyone dieing. In Mass Effect 3, He spends his time collecting artifacts from random planets from random star systems and generally doing some things that you sort of wonder why Shepard is the one doing this stuff.
And, that's not the biggest issue here. They very well could kill him off, but they do so by making his death mandatory and ignoring his character development. That's a huge issue here.
