- Hm... actually in the two-part TNG episode, where Picard, Worf, and
- Crusher are captured by the Cardassians (it's a C, not a K), at one
- point the one torturing Picard (why were they so blatantly copying the
- toturing thing from Orwell's _1984_?) is just sitting as his desk and
- his daughter (identified by conversation and behavior) wanders in and
- starts talking to him, and she eventually asks her dad "Do humans have
- mothers and fathers too?"
-
- From this we can at least infer that there are male and female
- Cardassians, and that each gender looks like its respective human gender
- plus the Cardassian makeup :-) There may be more than one mother and/or
- father for each child but they didn't say that explicitly, and IMHO they
- imply the traditional two-parent thing.
