Note to member: This is a question arisen from a thread entitled "Az'gard Physiology". Due to .:Anubis:. not marking spoilers, MarcyMarc was spoiled. Now he wishes to know the answer to his Question. This question which belonged in another thread so it was moved. Please help if you can. The post was seperated from another thread.

Any replies to my announcement post will be nuked. If you have questions regarding the split of this thread or want to say something about it then please PM me. I will ignore anything in this thread directed at my splitting of the thread.

i think that the reason given for why they cant reproduce was that they had been altered to much over the years, and some where along the line they just lost the ability to reproduce at all, now they can only clone themselves

ok, thanks. just another question....what did you mean by "they had been altered to much over the years"??

They altered themselves?? how?? why??
Sorry about all the questions, I'm really a newbie to the show here and any help would be appreciated!! thanks.

also, i'm not sure what happened to this particular thread?? I know *I* didn't start this new thread....what happened was that someone brought up the fact that the Asgard can't reproduce in another thread and I replied with a question, and now I have my own thread and in the other thread there are all a bunch of "NUKES"???

so I guess If you post a spoiler in another thread you get "NUKED" and any questions regarding that spoiler get put in a new thread??
Wow, this forum is really scrict and formal when it comes to posting spoilers.....I'm not complaining as i'm sure *I* didn't do anything wrong, but just compared to other boards...wow.

anyway, if someone could answer my original question that would be great....

indiana got pissed cos anubis didn;t mark his spoiler?

and the asgard started to clone themselves because i supposed they had the tech and started to make better bodies for themselves. As each copy of a copy got weaker or not as good quality, the asgard are now dieing out and can't reproduce because their cloned bodies don't have that function i don't think. Someone help me out here, i haven't watched the ep where this was explained in some time!

I always thought that they lost their ability to sexually reproduce, then they started cloning themselves. But I dont remember how they lost the ability.

I think that it was said in season 5 ep 21 About this issue......I think it was something along the lines that the Asgard had the normal bodies that couldn't reproduce???? *I think thats what they said* So they cloned themselves...So you have a clone each time they need a new body...But the clones were not as good as the original copies so each time they became lesser coppies of the original.....The Asgard then found an original body and were trying to find a way to stop this little mess of the weaker clones.

Their GM was what disabled their ability to reproduce, heimdall says, beware spoilers, that their program of GM becam irreversible, this to me would indicate that at some time they actually tried to reverse the process because something went wrong, most likely they discovered their infertility. And if the az'gard can copy a consciousness why don't they just copy their consciousness into a different species of life, a stronger body with a longer lifespan than your average every day clone?

Because an asgard consciousness would be incompatible with a non-asgard brain?

It wasn't a body in general. Kind of like an all purpose storage device. Think of it like this:

Putting an Asgard brain into a different host is like trying to put and old style RS-232 connection into a serial port. They both do the same thing but expected connections are in different places.

Putting a consciousness into a computer is like putting an IDE bus onto a jumper block (not in any way suggesting functionality simply size wise). There are far less connections and less chance of incompatibility. All of those sockets on the IDE cable for controlling motor skills have no partners and therefore no incorrect connections.

I'd still like to see someone try to do it. If the az'gard gm'ed themselves that bad that they cannot reproduce they have already gone through changes we can't immagaine, oh wait, we can, remember the large az'gard in heimdalls' lab.

What I didnt get was why didnt they genetically engineer new bodies with the ability to reproduce. If they had the knowledge to modify themselves so much you would think they would have the knowledge to re-engineer bodies that could reproduce.
