Mass-reproducing members of a long-extinct race is easier than training human biotic soldiers. Yep. Okay then.
"Natural born" biotics encompass every other Council race, which also invalidates your arguement. You want to be picky and only employ 'natural' biotics? Yes, instead of any number of skilled allied biotic combatants, we should blow billions of credits trying to clone a dead-as-dead-can-be species.
You've already lost all credibility. You're obviously trolling.
I dont think you understand how cloning works. It can produce them at a mature stage, with the abilities of a soldier that would of needed to have been trained for years, while this happens in a much shoter time frame. Sure, if we put it up versues the already trained soldiers, of course it would be favourable to use the resources elsewere. But this isnt what im arguing. Im arguing its quite within the possiblity of them doing so (though it would definatly not be on a mass production) if they wanted.
He argued it would be counter productive compared to an animal that increases the effectiveness of a single soldier. In my Eyes I would much rather have 2 soldiers compared to a bit more effective single soldier.
...There is just so many things wrong with this post I'd never be able to list them all.
But first off, it's readily apparent that everything you know of cloning came from Star Wars. No. That's not how cloning works. It's definitely not how it works in real life and there's nothing to suggest that's the way it works in Mass Effect, considering the only major technological breakthrough between now and then is the onset of Mass Effect technology. Even in Star Wars, it took them TEN YEARS- NOT considering the decades it would've taken to bring all the infrastructure needed to assemble such an army.
And human rights (? Sentient rights?) considerations aside, it is not "quite" within the possibility of the Alliance or any other Council race of doing so. Could it be possible? If it were peacetime, and they pooled their resources and the best of their minds, possibly. As it is in the circumstances of the Reaper invasion? Maybe not outright impossible, but so far out of the realm of possibility it might as well be so. They barely had the resources to complete the Crucible, what makes you think they're all miracle-workers all of a sudden? This kind of science is not easy. You don't just snap your fingers and ressurect a dead race. And if they had decided to abandon the Crucible project and pool the entire galaxy's last and final hope into bringing back the Protheans? Well, all stupidity of such a course of action aside, what's to even guarantee their loyalty? Why would the newly-created Protheans fight for us? Javik did, but he's a real Prothean. All these guys would have is Prothean DNA, nothing else.
They would not be Prothean beyond that. No memories, no society, no loyalties.
Especially: No unique Prothean combatant abilities or powers that would set them apart or above any currently existing soldier.But all those arguements are pointless when you bring the major deciding factor into the equation:
For the amount of resources they could use to recreate Prothean soldiers, you could train a higher number of human/allied biotics. There is no sane reason for any of the Council governments, especially not under the circumstances, to waste resources on bringing back the Protheans no matter how badly their scientists want to or how cool people would think it would be. Sure it might be possible, but that's a non-consideration.
