In theory won't Asari and Salarian growth substantially outpace Human and Turian growth?

Three examples:
Surrogate commits suicide with child in hand to keep child.
Surrogate kills the would be parents again to keep child.
Surrogate kidnaps child to keep for themselves.

Now I am not a mother nor father -nor would I ever want to be -Asexuality
I however know someone who was a surrogate and they were all for it up to the birth.
At which point the mother instinct kicked in and they wanted to keep the child.

Again, relevance to the topic at hand? The issue simply was "can it be done."

Relevance is that though it can be done there can -and many times is fallout with surrogacy.
Fallout that can be harsh no matter if of the homogeneous or all others.

This isn't relevant to the thread topic. Whoever keeps the kid, it has still been born; the birthrate hasn't taken a hit. 

I guess the suicide case would be relevant. Has that ever actually happened?

What does any of this have to do with the thread? Surrogacy has nothing much to do with species birthrates. The limiting factor isn't sperm.

And what on earth is this bit about?


You seem to be going on some weird crusade here.

But what the hell, I'll play. What are you actually proposing? This is primarily an issue for gay males, of course; females, straight or gay, have no problem reproducing at will.

As someone else posted, the numbers shown in-game suggest humans are the most populous species in the galaxy.  Asari are, at best, third.

Surrogacy was brought up as a valid way to counter the claim that there could be no kids from such relations -makes the relevance.

Exactly.
How do they procreate?
Do they self-inseminate and then regurgitate the child out through their mouths at term?
I doubt it.
So unless glass jar babies have been perfected then a womb is needed -thus a surrogate woman is needed... or a sex change operation.

Numbers.
It all boils down to numbers.
Not birthrates.
Population numbers -specifically in Andromeda.

The Human A.I. has a Limited Number of people to begin with -20,000.
If some are solo-genius then they will not produce offspring -naturally.

Thus the population reproduction is not being maximized to highest potential so all the following things must occur:
1. All who want population increase -must pair off and increase max population density.
2. For sake of the health of all set maximum birth limit per person to 20.
3. Those who don't want to be involved must be offset by others who will have to have more children.
4. Those who do want to be involved but not able to capitulate must contribute in some other form -DNA, RNA, or genetic material.
5. These who will bare more children more likely to become surrogates if given incentive - much to #4 appeal.
6. If surrogacy is necessary due to the state of wanting being high enough then the health of surrogate both mental and physical is a must.

Surrogates must be kept in healthy state...if not...

Scenario:
A surrogate carrying twins dies before birth and then the loss to the total population is not just minus 1 but a net loss of 2.
So if the population is 22,006 with this surrogate included and there is only this ONE surrogate...
Then the population would become -if the twins are carried to term: 22,008.
Yet if the surrogate dies then the population becomes 22005.

Or the race faces decline and in long term extinction if only using surrogacy as means of extending the civilization.

My whole point was advisement of caution if the A.I. were to use such methods:
Mental and physical health of current surrogates is old west level of care and technology.
