Wait patiently for those scientists on the Citadel to finish cloning new organs.

I refuse to believe that in an environment where medical science has had thousands of years to advance with the assistance of amazing feats of technology that it isn't possible to rapidly clone organs.

I'll just wait for the organs to finish, have them take out the bad ones and put in the new ones and boom! No more Kepral's Syndrome.

In an in game conversation in ME3 an asari doctor at Huerta Memorial hospital tells an injured allaince soldier that it will take 6 months to grow a new leg. And humans are a common race. Drell medical science is probably less understood due to sheer numbers. Why make an advancment for a race of a few million when you can improve a race of billions.

Serious answer: I take a lung transplant.

@ Epsilon, Kepral Syndrome is a lung disease, not blood disease. The disease was changed in ME3 to fit the storyline and also because apparently Thane's new writer didn't pay attention to the lore established in ME2.

Syndromes are famous for producing more than one symptom (hence the name). I ought to know, since I'm a doc..  So it's not necessarily a retcon, only an addition to our knowledge of a fictional syndrome. It could be a pulmonary disease with several secondarry symptoms like a haematologic disorder. 

... just saying.

Right. Did you play LoTSB ? Thane was a viable lung transplant candidate.

Just saying.

If curing Kepral's Syndrome were as easy as swapping a lung, I think it might, briefly, have occurred to "the best minds the hanar Illuminated Primacy have to offer." Possible a transplant could delay mortality... but Thane's on borrowed time. If ME3 contradicted LotSB (and on closer inspection, it absolutely didn't!), it only contradicted it right back to the original story.

As for finding a cure for Thane... Being terminally ill is part of his character

That about sums it up.

Bioware made the right decision in my opinion, in keeping Thane's illness terminal and not writing in a cure just because some fans demanded it.

Practically the first thing Thane says to Shepard in Mass Effect 2 is, "I'm dying." Anyone who had Shepard enter into a romance with Thane shouldn't have expected a cure. There was no lack of foreshadowing.

We'll bang, ok?

[Alien Number Six]

I will die as I have lived in real life. Strong, independent, and without regret. In 2003 I excepted my own death as I slowly fought across a desert wasteland far from home with brave men I have come to think of as brothers. I survived and when death comes for me I hope I see him coming like Thane did. I will not run around wasting my time running around looking for a wonder cure. I will use the time to say goodbye. To let the ones I love know I care. To experience things that I want to experience before I leave. And as I pass away. As I can feel the life leaving my body I will smile and say "It could have been a ditch in Iraq." and fade from the world as so many have before me.

Keep calm and bang Shepard. Do I get a T-shirt?

So, if a Drell has Kepler Syndrome, does that mean that a line joining that Drell and whatever he/she is attracted to sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time?

the Hanar are big stupid jellyfish that are dumb enough to think that the Protheans are gods, referring to themselves as 'I' or 'me' is too damn rude, and one was dumb enough to think that all hanar should worship the reapers because the protheans became collectors and served the reapers.  So maybe, he's putting to much faith in people that are idiots.  with that said, I don't care much about if thane lives or dies; he wasn't that useful of a squadmate and the Drell suck in multiplayer.

Now, back on topic.  I would be helping thessia repopulate if you know what I mean

@ Constant Motion

Where did you get the idea that a lung transplant would cure Kepral Syndrome? Because I surely didn't say that and every person who supports Save Thane Campaign is well aware that it would not be a permanent solution.

And yes, I played ME2, of course, in ME3 Thane romance doesn't exist and so doesn't Thane or any other drell in non - import game. The quote you provided is true, but you skipped the part about hanar working on a cure. They didn't stop developing it. At the moment where Shepard speaks to Thane it's not available, but there is some hope that it could be finished in time to help Thane. And yes, I know he didn't believe that it could happen. He didn't believe at this moment that he could ever reunite with his son and wasn't sure if anyone will come out of suicide mission alive. I hope you get the idea, because I'm not willing to go back here and explain the same thing all over again.
And yes, ME3 made a lot of retcons when it comes to Thane, one of it is living on a borrowed time.This was really explained a hundred times in different threads. From your posts I can only see that you already decided what you want to believe and you're not interested in acknowledging some valid points that people from SaveThane Campaign have brought up.

But there is something I must address here. There are people who never romanced Thane, he's just their Shepard's bro. They still want to save him. So it's not the 'romance fault' that some people like Thane and are attached to this character. Also, I believe that making Thane a romance option meant that he wasn't necessarily doomed to die in ME3. Especially not in that way and not in the middle of the game.

To those who never saw the romance, I'd like to point out that Thane was afraid of death, in my playthrough he admitted that. He looked forward to the future, willing to go with my Shepard on vacation. His whole character arc was about waking up from battlesleep and embracing life. So I can't agree that the whole point of this character was just dying. He was more than a dying man in ME2, too bad he was only a walking dead in ME3.

I don't understand what is so selfish about wanting someone (even a character in a story) to live. I can certainly see though, that selfish is wanting someone to die, because this creates a 'beautiful and meaningful' story. Life is more beautiful than death and it creates much better opportunities for a good story.

The genophage is part of the Krogan's character, and you can cure it. I don't see why it's so unrealistic to cure Kepral's Syndrome in a game where you can fix everything that is wrong in the galaxy in a couple of weeks.

Isn't Kepral's Syndrome a disease of the blood as much as it is the lungs? I think Thane mentions a lack of Haemoglobin in ME3. I doubt a simple lung transplant would solve it. You'd need a full bone-marrow replacement (or whatever Drell have) as well.

Depends on the game. ME2 just the lungs. For ME3 the devs decided that wasn't enough and mutated his disease so they could kill him off easier. But in the end, his death was really cause by laziness and inexperience.
