Human-Alien cross breeding? Possible? Implausible?

[Gerazzi]

If they had the same number of chromosomes and similar DNA then it's possible and this goes into genetics as well as they'd have to be mammals and I really don't understand why anyone would want to have sex with an alien.

The same reason humans want to have sex with elves - they're hot hot HOT!!!

As for the actual thread, highly improbable. They'd need to be close enough in DNA structure to mate with us (like dogs and wolves) which i'm pretty sure means they need to have the same number of chromosomes we do and be mammals. I'm not saying it's impossible, i'm just saying it's unlikely.

You don't know what evolved on that swamplike planet.
Could be 20 foot tall mosquito people, for all you know.

One of my many dreams as a nerd is to make love to hot alien chicks, but as for alien human cross breeding..... I'm afraid it is unlikely that there really are beautfiul Asari women out there who say things like:
"Show me some more of this Earth thing called Kissing."*
I think most aliens would look nothing like us and have different anatomy so therefore now way we could.

Find me an alien, we're testing this NOW.

Oh and another human test subject. I don't wanna boink any aliens.

*looks around the room*

...I'll do it. I'm all for racial diplomacy with aliens and breeding with their women would be a step in the right direction.

From what i remember, as long as it has 23 Chromosomes, it can make with another human.

Interbreeding between other species is possible provided that they have a highly similar DNA structure.

But we would only be attracted to an alien species if they closely resembled us. If that was the case, then they would probably have a similar DNA structure.

1. Why would you want to get freaky with an alien
2. Species can't produce offspring that can reproduce. e.g.the mule and the liger
3. DNA splicing? probably wouldn't work like it does in Sci-Fi films

1)I wouldn't, it's the idea being portrayed I was looking to question, not a personal endevour...
2)The species involved evolved under similar climates, or at least have biological experience with microbial life on Earth. Due to the fact I don't know this is an assumption, but are Lions & Tigers not evolutionary forms from other cats, millenia ago? (If not, then I raise the shield once more...)
3)Today? Not a chance. In the future, well probably far off (If at all), to cross two entirely unrelated species and have a positive outcome (No complications for the end result, defects or complications which pose further problems for it).

Don't underestimate scientific progress, if you had told someone just a hundred years ago that flight would become arguably one of the safest forms of travel they would have thought you were crazy.

You would probably have to mess with genetics or something to be able to mate with an alien. Technology that we don't have now but might have in the future and it would undoubtedly be a very very expensive research project. That and it would kind of suck to mate with an alien if it looked nothing like a human.

How exactly does this contradict anything i said?

 

[UltimatheChosen]

It is quite possible. It all depends on the DNA of whatever alien species we find. It may not be likely, but it is possible. Even donkeys and horses can cross-breed. The offspring are not fertile, but it can be done.

This. Highly unlikely, but hey, there's still a TINY chance.

But humans and aliens wouldn't even be in the same kingdom.

They would be if they were humanoid aliens... right?

Good point. But if they different genetically they wouldn't. (Which I bet they would be.)

Eubacteria vs Archaebacteria

You said they were sexually appealing.

Right, I'll do my first topic, probably a bit odd but I'd be interested in the replies.

congrats on first topic,

anyway, ive been studying aliens in my spare time for almost four years now, theres evidence suggesting that a species similiar to the Dropa mated with evolving apes, and thats where the questionable 'missing link' came in, Becuase with that interbreeding we became a cross between alien and ape.

Thats right. This isnt fact, just a theory being looked into, but I beleive it could be real, and Theres alot of these rumours I dont beleive.

So...maybe...WE are the fucking aliens

Yes, when horses and donkeys interbreed it comes out as a mule, so it isnt actually very uncommon.

I wasn't really referring to the horse/donkey analogy.

 

[the monopoly guy]

No matter how you spin it, sex with aliens is just wierd.

 

[Darkmark44]

Depends on the species of Alien really. There might be a chance, but then again, is a very low chance of actually producing a child or offspring. It has alot riding on the chromosomes that that particular species has.

 

[murphy7801]

well the asari in the actually use the the sexual partner as merely an dna boaster there effectively a sexual with just taking few bit dna were they can hopefully to added a bit to a species

 

[lacktheknack]

Possibly, but only if the aliens reproduce via meiosis.

 

[murphy7801]

well getting freaky with alien sounds like fun if there up for it
