Traditional pregnancy, no. Crazy mad scientist making a turian and krogan hybrid, possibly. People are quick to bring up science but science is not always ME's friend as biotics are more out there than a genetically created hybrid, I mean didn't Dr. Moreau create hybrids like back in there 19th century?

Thane's wife was a Drell, as a femShep if you romance him he says he's never been interested in someone of another species before.

I can't believe so many people are seriously considering having interspecies pregnancies.

And then acting like it is no big deal if Bioware allowed that, that is a seriously huge retcon, no matter how you put it it stops being Science Fiction at that point.

Anyone with a brain should be able to rationalize "This isn't possible, no matter how many facts or physics you stretch".

I agree that it would be a huge retcon and a stupid one at that.  (I think all retcons are stupid.... I'm looking at you World of Warcraft)

But it would still be Science Fiction to create ways to mix genes.  I don't think they should go that way with the story but It woldn't "stop being science fiction"

I'm amazed really at how many nos there are. XD But while I can see this from the scientific point of view of the genetic make-up being a problem and thus not a possibility there is still one thing to consider.

We're talking about a sci-fi universe with technology that provides the means of traversing the galaxy in no time, flying cars, shields, a multi-species translator, gene therapy, and just now introduced procedure to get suit wearing species out of their suits as well as bring back a person who was just burnt meat and bones back to life.

This a universe of endless possibilities except for the obvious impossibility of elcormance, rachnimance, and hanarmance.

If the salarians can make a entire species less fertile than what they used to be, odds are the greatest scientific minds can make a quarian and human have a offspring, whether or not it'd be fertile is another story. Though I can definitely see a turian-human hybrid as a high improbability we are atalking about Bioware here, they could make it where the asari suddenly had male offspring and we wouldn't question it. And as a Tali fan after seeing the bad things that have happened to her then the good of hooking up with your shep, whould it not be cruel not to let her have a kid if she wanted one? The idea is very intriguing in that would it have a much better immune system?

Probably not, though sometimes I wonder whether Thanes wife was a Drell or not.

Tali having Shep JR. is out of the question, as their amino acids don't even sync up.

Tali and Shepard can adopt a human from the mean streets of Earth to raise them on a Quarian homeworld far from the violence and degradation of the human homeworld.  He will even get his own little suit as a symbol of their joining.

This wont get seen, but ill post anyway.

No!

Just like dogs and humans or pigs and whale or bacteria and cats or whatever other combination you want to match up.

Inter-species offspring cannot occur EVER sexually. Asari can only do it due to basically making a mental copy and making children from it and as the asari with a krogan suitor says, "the child would be asari". However, sexual reproduction (aka genetic reproduction) cannot occur across any 2 species under any circumstances.

And quite frankly, I have been amazed/surprised/disappointed than it is very uncanny how many species across the galaxy happen to have all the right/familiar parts for humans in a reproductive sense. Frankly speaking, breasts, butts, curves, and vaginas. (No, some of those are not "necessary" but they are signs of "health" which come from our past and thus why we find them "attractive")

As Samara once said, "We don't know magic"

Even technology has its eternal limitations.

[KBGeller]

Although, with the intense level of genetic modification that can occur, I can see... well... sort of offspring. By this I mean, you can go in, take one of tali's "eggs" (i say "eggs" since I know a fair bit of human's and not so much quarian's reproduction) and then from there you can take one of shepard's sperm and basically take the genetic code or what the genetic code means and apply that to the quarian genome. Basically, something similar to what the Asari do mentally. However, that does mean that the baby will be full quarian with just bits and pieces of shepard. But it would be both Shepard and Tali's baby. Sort of.

Basically, to sum up. If Miranda can be made from a test tube by picking and choosing genes. Quarians can be as well.

However, I am not saying human reproduction will work with a quarian.

It would be cool for the whole hybrid cross species thing, but it's just not very realistic. I was already having a hard time with how species that evolved on different planets "fit together" so easily.

The Island of Dr. Moreau was scientifically bankrupt, in much the same way Shelley's Frankenstein was. Understandable since they're from the 19th century.

Anyway, the problem isn't so much relationships forming (we've got people who derive sexual satisfaction through really weird things, lizards are comparatively tame; we've just got to assume that Garrus and FemShep are both perverts akin to a man who has sex with sheep), it's that the chemistry just doesn't work. If humans and chimps can't interbreed, humans and quarians, who don't even use the same building blocks for life certainly can't. Heck, mules are crosses between donkeys and horses (which are actually very close in terms of genetics), but they're totally sterile.

The only guys with the biotech to make a human/quarian hybrid actually work, IMO, are the collectors and by extension, the reapers. 

[ArcanistLibram]

No. I'm glad Mass Effect doesn't have any interspecies pregnancies outside the asari. It helps keep the aliens alien.

The closest thing to interspecies pregnancy would probably be invitro fertilization followed by extensive genetic engineering to promote mutations similar to the other species' characteristics, like a quarian with four fingers instead of three.

Thinking about it.

Why ?

Do you want a babies with your dog?

I loved this universe better when it was of endless possibilities except for all *lists all other races*.
I understand it was a satisfy-the-loud-fans act, but at also messed up the sci-fi sense.

Yes, yes it would.

And hey, I'm not saying it has to be shep's biologically either. be happy if another quarian helped. But knowing Bioware they'll either completely surprise us or just avoid this all completely. I'll just leave this to them

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?

No, it's not possible. According to the basic laws of biology, reproduction with an alien in not only unfesible, but also impossible. Genetics and DNA prevent it. Of course, Asari are an exception.

[Sursion]

In real life it's impossible. I assume (hope) that it's impossible in Mass Effect as well.

[BattleVisor]

Asari are asexual, DNA from their partner provides the catalytic process which randomises the DNA sequencing more of the offspring, it is not traditional meiosis

[Edje Edgar]

Ehm, since all sentient life in the galaxy is about to be wiped out unless Shephard stops it, I doubt getting a child is very high on his to-do list atm.



Sure he's a hero, plenty o time to chat up women. But you dont see James Bond starting about children to every woman he's with. Yer job is to save the world, let the Milk Man worry about reproduction.

Hahahahahahahah. Outstanding post. 

[Internet Kraken]

Being able to have sex with Tali through the use of miracle medicine is already ridiculous. Having a child with her? That's even worse. Far worse. I don't see how anyone could ever think this was possible.
