Triploid reproduction already exists in a different form in different species, such as flowers/plants/aquatic animals/salamanders...but most of what is found about these animals is that they are hermaphroditic and accomplish reproduction by asexual means.

The original argument in IRC was triploid reproduction in HUMANS.

I'm still waiting to find out exactly what a unix is in comparison to male and female?
Or how the chromosomes would merge without making a species overrun by dominant traits.

Don't get me wrong, I'm able to think of this happening in terms of other species, but when you say humans...I'm going to disagree with you.
I can't stress enough the mutation that would occur for the negative in a triploidal human.
