I think it has more to do with the general acceptance that Star Trek has developed for the concept of human-alien relationships in fiction.

Seriously people, WTF, why are you even discussing this. Now I've head everything from romantice relationships with legion, now wanting to give birth to some abomination that will live in the Citidel's air ducts eating little children.
Some of you REAAALLLY scare me.

Because Sonic was essentially a super-deformed-style cartoon kissing a realistic-anime-style human. Add to that the fact that humans didn't even exist in the original Sonic games. And add to that the fact that Sonic is not a complex character (he's basically just a mascot in terms of personality) while they portrayed that girl as one.
Really it wasn't so much the "inter-species" relations that was disturbing about that scene, but... perhaps vaguely pedo overtones.
But I guess that's getting off-topic.

Humans and the ME aliens are also more similar than dissimilar, depending on your standards. They're both sapient. They feel the same emotions. They both walk on two legs and use two arms, equipped with fingers and toes. They have two eyes, a nose and mouth (at least, the ones considered close enough to romance do!). They have similar familial and social relationships. They wear clothes. They drink alcohol. They have jobs and careers and hobbies. Personality-wise, my FemShep is far more compatible with Garrus than she ever was with Kaidan.
As for physically... Well, Mordin covered that quite thoroughly.
Well, at least not with a family. I can see Shepard taking a very long and well-deserved break from all the galactic madness, but Shepard is definitely not the white picket-fence type.Antikristine wrote...

This covers my take on it as well. During the courtship phase of the FemShep/Garrus relationship this is also something which is emphasised. FemShep says she needs someone she can trust, Garrus says Shepard is the person he respects most in the galaxy. There is room for deep affection between the two, and that is enough for humans even when they have very different cultural backgrounds.
Concerning reproduction, I don't get the feeling that Shepard is the kind of person who aims at having a family and kids. Even after the galaxy is saved for the last time, I don't really see him/her settle down.

I know this must have been asked before, but other than the asari, is it possible for two different species to have a child? I.E. Turian and Human. Or has this not been explained?
Anyone with a brain should be able to rationalize "This isn't possible, no matter how many facts or physics you stretch".

Here's an interesting thought: the new Sonic the Hedgehog game included an interspecies romance between Sonic and a human female, and at one point in the game they kiss. The game got totally torn apart over the scene, which many people thought of as cringeworthy. Contrarily, I haven't seen any criticism of the interspecies relationships in ME 2 in any review I've seen so far, even though those involve sex as compared to Sonic's simple kiss. Maybe has to do with ME 2 being M rated and Sonic being E rated, but I'm wondering if acceptance is building and we'll start to see this more in future games?

So having a relationship with a blue hedgehog is more acceptable to you than a blue, hairless (wtf is that crap on the back of their head?) human...
Anything can happen in the game. Like eezo... I don't see it on the PToE. Some braniac scientist would probably laugh at the idea of that, too.
Going all "CAN'T HAPPEN!*sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiff*>Some sciency crap no one cares about<*" isn't much of an argument in a game.

Sounds like an assumption to me. You could clone one 'parent' and then replicate traits of the other, but it would require extreme genetic manipulation. For example, you could get the 'quarian' parent, clone it, then genetically alter it to have eyes of a similar colour to your Shepard, but they wouldn't, genetically, be your Shepard's eyes, just a quarian approximation. Nor could you clone the 'human' and alter the DNA to give it, for example, three quarian fingers or a turien exo-skeleton. That sorta thing is against not only Alliance regulations, but also Council law.
