I think there should be a Mass Effct 3 side quest to cure Thane, like you go to the drell homeworld interrogate a drell scientist and get the location of the cure, then go to another planet and get it from a facility guarderd by drell blood pack mercs... idc how you do it just cure Thane!
Cure Thane Krios!

Please no. Not every problem can be solved. And the fact that he is dying is part of what makes his character interesting.

Not to be overly nitpicky but hey, here goes nothing!
1) The Drell homeworld is a nuclear wasteland. The remaining Drell live on the Hanar homeworld of Kahje. It is the extreme difference in climate that causes this condition in Drell.
2) The Blood Pack consists of Krogan and Vorcha exclusively. No members of other races are permitted to join.
3) Even though I like Thane I think it would be a reasonable story move for him to die of his condition. He himself doesn't believe he'll live long enough to see the treatment the Hanar are developing and it would be strange if in the Mass Effect universe people with terminal illnesses can be cured pretty easily. He's got a terminal condition, it would give the story a little more credibility for it to remain terminal.

Medically speaking; in the ME universe they can bring Shepard back from the dead after being spaced and colliding with a planet. Albeit at great expense... I am sure there is something they can do for a Drell degenerative lung disorder. Maybe not a cure, but I don’t think it is unreasonable for them to find an effective treatment.
Thane is like a ninja philosopher and I would like to see more of him in the third game.

Or maybe he gets the treatments and they are incredibly painful. Being that he never forgets anything, the memories of the pain start to drive him crazy and his behavior becomes erratic. Now he is a bi-polar ninja badass.
There are no simple solutions in the ME universe. That would be more suited to the narative structure.

Shepard was brought back from the dead because nobody else was deemed good enough to fight the Reapers by Cerberus. Even then that took two years to do. Thane does say that the Hanar are developing a treatment for his condition, but seeing as he only has eight months at most to live he doesn't expect to see the treatment completed before he dies.
No offence to Thane, but nobody is going to spend billions of credits in an effort to bring him back from the dead.

Possible Spoiler (I tried not to give any specifics away and I have not finished the game at this point, Only wanted to look into if there is a sidequest for a cure listed here.)
I received an email in game at personal terminal stating a story with Hanar in the water surrounding a Drell ending up curing his illness, the same one that Thane is dying from. You may remember this because at the end of it, it asks you to pass it along to 6 other people like the chain emails you get IRL. I do not know if this is related to actually curing him in game but it seems that it would not have been put there unless it would have had some information, even if something like what you should say to him if he is "spiritually" dying. It sounds a lot like "Footprints in the Sand". Not sure if the writers meant that he is really dying from a real disease but as he describes it, it sure seems there is a problem with "fish in the water" problems where their skin gets too much water and kills them in humid environments. Living on the Hanar homeworld would then be a physically degrading environment for them to be in. In that case, it would seem that all of the Drell would be suffering from it. It almost seems we are to expect a miracle cure for it from this such as leaving him underwater alive on the Hanar homeworld and trusting in miraculous healing power of it perhaps after he has atoned for his past. Anyway, my thoughts.

I honestly think it would be nice for there to be a cure for him, but for it to be a massive moral conundrum for the player. Thane has lots of fangirls (and boys, it seems), and I think his draw was intentional. Like Virmire in ME1, you had to make a hard choice between two characters. One was going to die, no way around it, but it was your call as to who. For some, I guess it may not have been so hard, but for me, it was. I had romanced Kaidan, but I liked Ash's character. Leaving either was difficult for me, as I'd grown attached.
I'd much rather see a cure that put us in a similar 'tight spot' than just letting Thane die. How far will a Paragon player go, how far can you push them before they snap, and decide to save the one, and to hell with the consequences? That's something that interests me, especially as I tend to RP (to a point) as I play. My Shep is a Paragon... but if it came down to Thane dying, or Thane living, but with the 'cure' coming at some great cost, I'm not so sure how I'd have her react. I *want* to be challenged in such a way. Its what makes a story really stand out for me.
And in any case, Thane dying doesn't seem to really keep in with the 'consequences' for abandoning Kaidan for him, to me. Particularly if he could potentially die before Kaidan ever comes back into the picture. Or even if he dies not long after. Of course, there's always the general 'loss of a loved one' drama, if they just let him go, and that would be touching and quite moving, I'm sure, but I'd rather be forced to make a hard choice a-la-Virmire again, to be honest.

gasp! He would have a split personality! OMFG! It's freaking brilliant!
I find that it would a bit more sense that depending on how you treated his son and also if you romance with him, if he truly wants to continue living or not.
i.e. If you treated Koylat like mean (aka shooting him in the arm instead of the lamp post and punching his face), Koylat would still not really connect with his father, hence Thane doesn't really want to continue living much
another i.e. If you romanced with him, he would go through those harsh treatments that you mentioned, resulting in him getting a split personality, and his split personality wants to personally kill you... or something or another
it's just my opinion. no need to go spreading it around and such :3

I'd rather you have a sidequest where you help his son, Kolyat, kill him before he can die of his disease. Just so he can know how much his son hates him before he dies.

Ok, so you should go to the Hanar homeworld Kahje and break into a lab guarded by a Drell merc. gang and gundown a Hanar scientest and take the cure but the side effect is...THANE'S PERFECT MEMORY IS GONE, BYE BYE, SEE YOU NEVER!

Mordin developed and deployed the krogan Genophage, so he can certainly cure the drell Kepral's Syndrome. AND, as a result, we discover that the hanar were just pretending to find a cure, because they didn't want to give up drell servitude!!

I completely agree with this. It would be great if they'd at least give us a choice, but one that mattered and not just an easy way out. Something with consequences to the overall story would be awesome, maybe similar to the choices in the first game, like letting the rachni queen live or not. I'd probably be pleased if they just let him live through the third game, as in not seeing him die, 'cause then I can just pretend it doesn't happen and I won't catch myself spilling tears over a friggin gaming character
I guess it wouldn't be so sad if we just had more time with the character, instead of just a few conversations and a quick loyalty mission.Who knows. Something tells me Bioware have a plan with his character in store for us, guess we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

It was said in-game that the hanar were currently working on a cure to his illness and just because Thane doesn't think he'll make it long enough to reap the benefits doesn't mean he wont. Seeing as he isn't there with the hanar who are working on it there is no way for him to know just how far along the cure is. Seeing as he's a well liked character as well as an LI i just don't see bioware terminating him, at least not right off the bat. It's more likely that if they do kill him off that it will happen later on in ME3 not at the beginning, as it seems everyone with the opinion he'll die, seems to have. I'm hoping for this at least, i liked thane and as a femshep the final romance scene was so touching.

i think that that funny easter eggish email about the curing of the Drell disorder is a hint at the option of a cure in ME3. I mean why else would they make it about curing the syndrome and title it "It Could Happen to You". They could've made a funny chain email about anything.

Somehow I fear it would be bad if Thane would be a part of ME3.
Although I like all chars so far(except the lacking possibility of being just friends with Jack or this "...I'm in the middle of some callibrations..."- and "I really need to clean that engine..."-loops), I think Thane would turn out to be quite boring in ME3.
He himself states, he can take lives and has just few other skills.
What will be the dialouge-theme in ME3?!
Shepard:"Hey Thane. You'd like to play some cards with Tali, the engineers and me?"
Thane:"I'm not good at playing cards Shepard. I'd rather continue meditating."
Shepard:"OK...maybe wanna talk about the politic happenings, now that the reapers are defeated?"
Thane:"I fear, all I can tell you about politics is, which politicians my body killed."
Shepard:"Thane...you said you had "few other skills". What -except killing- can you do?"
Thane:"Meditate?"
Shepard:"Something more active?"
Thane:"Praying."
Shepard:"Common Thane...something that's about interacting with people?"
Thane:"Well Shepard, you know I have a son..."
Shepard:"See, Thane. I'm male. Maybe in a parallel universe it could be different, but I'm not into that kind of people-interactions with other men."
Thane:"I fear, I've got no other skills in these thematics."
Shepard:"Sigh...Legion at least is good in computer-games and has a chess-program."

Well it's not like Thane can't learn some social skills. He said himself that it's new for him to have any company but he enjoyed talking with Shepard. So in ME3 dialogue-theme could be Thane getting used to others, discovering all the things he missed out in his life. And imagine how much more dramatic it would be for him to die after he discovers how to enjoy life.
I really like Thane, he's possibly the most interesting and realistic character of all, but I agree that finding a cure for him would be too simple and naive. Still, if it happens I won't complain

oh god no, let him die.
take his son with you, if you really need a drell.
but he only has 8months and isnt worth the recourses to bring back or cure.
