So what is the reason for the tabu to mate with their own species?More political influence,if asari mate with aliens?
That is the only reason i could imagine.But its stupid if so many asari agree with this.

[JRCHOharry]

Plus if they mate with their own species their offspring have a chance of becoming Ardat-Yakshi (sp?). Who are extremely dangerous (and sexy) individuals who become addicted to sex and melt peoples brains.

Radiation would be enough to counter this.The asari that managed the contract with ferros told this.

and everybody know death by snu snu is bad.....but also good...But still pretty bad..then again?

I think Liara's response is the rote explanation they are taught, and the Ardat-Yakshi is the more truthful explanation that is known by few others.

Ok,one new try.
The asari that managed the contracts with the ferros colony told shepardt that asari dont really need alien partners.That a little radiation would enough to prevent something like ardat-yashki.

That Asari's a bit biased, don't you think? 

[Terraneaux]

I don't really think it's plausible, even in a soft sci-fi universe like Mass Effect, that the asari are really gaining anything meaningful genetically from their joining. What they should be gaining is cultural and mental diversity (in ME1 Liara talks about 'exploring the genetic *memory* of an asari's partner, not their genes themselves) that prevents their culture from stagnating.

She wasn't talking about Ardat-Yakshi. She was talking about randomized genes, and genetic mutations from radiation tend to not be very healthy...

lol "snu-snu" if you put it that way who cares? (except the people who died...maybe)

But she has medic knowlegde.She would know what she say.

I'm so confused on whether it's bad or good.  I'll just avoid death by snu snu with Morinth and other Ardat Yakshi to avoid this dilemma.

Radiation tends to stop your DNA from working, rather than alter it a little.

Genetic change on an Evolutionary scale takes centuries, or millenia. Radiation is 'super evolution', transforming the genes far too radically that it essentially kills the body, as it's not able to adapt to the change.



And that's assuming all the changes made by the radiation are either neutral or beneficial.

Even if it's true, why would a sentient being prefer to be impregnated by radiation rather than finding a romantic partner?

Could ask Miranda's father. He sounds insane. He wasn't "impregnated by radiation" but he did take his own DNA, mess with the Y chromosone to make it an X, modified it more, and threw it in a test tube and Miranda was born! A woman born from a man, sounds very Genesis, and very messed up.

I depends on the dose.We dont live without radiation,its just isnt enough to be dangerous.
And this is mass effect.A little dose for a short time could be enough for genetic variety without health problems.

Asari would become pregnant as normal with another asari.The radiation would be concentrated on the child for a short time after that.

I highly doubt that'd work... irradiating a complex multi-cellular organism is asking for crazy things like cancer. The randomising of genetic material via radiation would have to occur at the point of conception to be viable.

"A little radiation"



Like what sitting inside your house?



The amount of radiation required wouldn't alter the cells in a way that would have the desired effect. It would kill you (cancer cancer cancer cancer)

[Hag001]

Wouldn't the radiation dose have to increase slightly every generation to have any type of genetic change?
