==Declining Population==
* ''See [[Andorian/Gender_and_Reproduction|Andorian Reproduction]]''
Due to the requirement of four parents in the reproductive cycle and the usual production of less than four offspring, the Andorian species is in decline.
With the decline in population the Andorian Science Institute has been hard at work exploring possible solutions to this problem.
The most promising form of research has been into altering the Andorian [[MA:chromosome|chromosome]] #17. It is believed that by altering this [[MA:chromosome|chromosome]] they could increase the length of fertility considerably, thus increasing the number of years during which conception would be possible.
Another area of research is into the possibility of altering the way the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamete gametes] divide in the body. If successful, this would make both the ''Thaan'' and the ''Chan'' fully functional males with viable sperm. The long term implications for them as a race would be the elimination of the need for paired quads as their would eventually only be two [[MA:gender|sexes]].
However this research has produced great controversy within the Andorian society. It goes against all their customs and traditions. Many Andorians are outraged by this research and feel that any and all work into altering the four [[MA:gender|sexes]] should be stopped and destroyed.
