All humor aside, speaking strictly from a scientific standpoint, the donor-recipient genetic puzzle pieces simply would not fit, and no amount of rumored lore, wishful thinking or magic could make them.
I enjoyed your standpoint, but it's not rumored lore, it's actual lore. Half-breeds are a canon thing.

Quote:Q: Can different races crossbreed?
A: Yes, but it is rare...and often difficult due to cultural differences, etc. which is why you don't see it often. The lore team has informed me that there will be future quests/events that touch on this and other issues, such as love and marriage.
Your info on miscarriages due to odd compatibility though, could explain some of the rarity. I find that preeetty interesting!
