I would guess the answer is a resounding no. Acrosome reaction requires the lock and key of same species. For the zygote to survive, the material of the ovum must contain the ingredients to fuse with the incoming cell and continue nourishing the new life during the critical moments of replication.
In summary, the motherly portion of the zygote must contain God-species specific material in order to survive. Mary must have been part God before the process began.
The Pope was partially inspired in his proclamation of the Assumption of Mary. The missing piece of the Assumption doctrine is this: Mary was not raised to heaven by a power outside herself. She propelled herself into heaven.
Merry Cristmas,

T.S. Quint: But they're engaged.
Brodie: Doesn't matter, can't happen.
T.S. Quint: Why not? It's bound to come up.
Brodie: It's impossible! Lois Lane could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle his sperm? I guarantee you that when he comes during sex, he probally blows a load like a shotgun blast... right through her back! And if by chance Lois does get pregnent, what about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?
T.S. Quint: Sure, why not?
Brodie: He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan, the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way Superman could bang regular chicks is if he does it with a kryptonite condom, but that would kill him.
T.S. Quint: How is it that I go from the verge of hot Floridian sex with Brandi to man of steel coital debates with you in the food court?
Brodie: Cookie stand isn't part of the food court.
T.S. Quint: Of course it is.
Brodie: The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It not like we're talking quantum physics here.
T.S. Quint: The cookie stands counts as an eatery, eateries are part of the food court.
Brodie: BS! Eateries that operate within the designated square downstairs count as food court. Anything outside, of said designated square, counts as an autonomous unit for mid-mall snacking. Now, if you're going to wax intellectual about the subject...
