Y'know from my impressions this was correct...but didn't I read in a recent
sourcebook where it cleared it up by saying that there are no Second
Generation ghouls because the virus leaves them sterile?

Thanks, I hate it when I read something and it flirts around in my mind
until some reference to it, then it comes back in ghostly images like a
dream and I can't recall from where it came from.

Hmmm....I don't know. I can't find Target UCAS...okay, found it....

SR3 Companion...Page 33; upper left column ...

"Unconfirmed reports exist of some ghouls reproducing by infecting other
metahumans, similar to the way vampires pass along their condition. However,
the vast majority of ghouls are that way. As with any, it may not be passed
to one's offspring; however, most children of ghouls are born infected."

Hope that helps a bit..

Also, Bug City made reference to 2nd Gen ghouls, specifically, Blaine
Hammond.
