Cross-species matings

In a few science fiction series (the Star Trek franchise being the most notable), humans can mate with extra-terrestrial species and produce healthy children. This is, of course, absolutely ridiculous; species are defined by their inability and/or unwillingness to mate and produce fertile offspring. Even taking into account the possibility of panspermia, a human would have more in common genetically with a daylily than with an extra-terrestrial.
