If it is true that Ranko is pregnant, then the worst part is that she and
Ranma are genetically brother and sister in this particular universe;
Ranma's psyche taking over his local self does not change that fact.
History (try Egypt) shows the results of inbreeding.  My sympathies would be
with the poor child if it was carried to term.  If Ranma was honorable (very
open to question in this fanfic!) he would commit seppeku for allowing this
to happen to his sister.  Plus, think what will happen to HER if the
knowledge of who the father is manages to get out.  Genma and Nadoka would
disown Ranma *and* Ranko, at the very least!  Not to mention everyone elses'
response once it is known that she is pregnant.  Remember, this is set in
Japan, and their cultural values apply, not ours!

Ranko has been presented as a very nice 15 year old girl; this whole
situation is NOT fair to her, nor to Ranma either, for that matter.  Is this
the excuse to *escape* via the wish, leaving Ranko to fend for herself?
This sucks!

        Who ever said Ranko was pregnant? You've got your characters mixed
up big time. We're talking about the other girl Kinuko which is totally not
related to Ranma at all. Did you even read the story?

ps Flame away if you wish!  I am a father with a 13 old son, and I consider
this warping of an excellent fanfic to be an outright shame.
