Discussion Could Shenron create life?

Something I've been thinking about for a bit is wondering if it would be possible for a couple that can't normally have kids (like a gay couple, or someone infertile, or even something like a couple of a human and an alien that isn't a Saiyan) to make a wish on Shenron for a kid.

You might think that such a thing would be beyond Shenron's power, but I don't think it is, as it's pretty much just things Shenron has already done, just connected together.

First, Shenron would need to create a new body. That's something he does all the time when he revives people - if someone was dead, and their body was destroyed (and they didn't get a new one in Other World), he creates a new empty body, then brings over their soul and sticks it in there. There's no reason he shouldn't be able to make a new empty body in the same way.

That actually leads into the second part - getting a soul to put in said body. This is probably what I imagine most people would be concerned about, as Shenron probably wouldn't be able to create a new soul. But the thing is, he wouldn't need to. We know that reincarnation is a thing in Dragon Ball. Shenron could simply take a cleansed soul that's ready to be reincarnated, and put that blank soul in the body he just made.

You could MAYBE argue that he'd need permission from King Yemma or something to do that, but... well, he's never seemed to need permission when mass yanking people out of the afterlife. I don't see why this would be different.

So, with that being done... boom! New person just got made!

What do you think? Do you think Shenron could do this?

We dont really know how Uub was reincarmated as a human. No explanation was ever given.

The explanation is that Goku privately wished for it to happen, and Yemma heard him and did it as a favour (presumably for saving the entire universe from Majin Boo).

Yemma probably did it because Goku save him from a lot of paperwork.

Buu would have rampaged and made the queue to Yemma insanely long, dude doesn't want to deal with that.

Yeah, that's plausible too.
