With minor differences in organ placements and DNA in comparison to [[Human]]s, Centaurans and Humans are able to interbreed with little difficulty - as such, it requires only minimal medical supervision. | With minor differences in organ placements and DNA in comparison to [[Human]]s, Centaurans and Humans are able to interbreed with little difficulty - as such, it requires only minimal medical supervision.
