That's more dependent on the biological makeup of ghouls. However, if a human and ghoul cross breed and are able to create viable and possibly fertile children, then it would mean humans and ghouls are actually the same species, with just some subtype differences. It's not clear though since we only know one natural one eyed ghoul, and Eto has yet to give us any information on it.

However, what is interesting is the fact that Kaneki is a one eyed ghoul through organ transplant. We actually don't know exactly how much of Riza was implanted into Kaneki, but his body was able to become extremely similar to that of a ghoul's only a few months after, citing the possibility that maybe the ghoul status isn't just genetic, but possibly somewhat pathogenic? Alternatively it could be something like an epigenetic change? Like maybe humans are already ghoul-like, they just need to have it awakenend/stimulated with the use of ghoul cellular material. If that's the case, then children from two one eyed ghouls might be something different. It's cited that the only problem during pregnancy is if the mother is a ghoul, then the body will mistake it as nutrients, while if the father is a ghoul, the mother must consume human meat. Maybe, by being half ghoul, there's a higher chance of the mother's body recognizing the fetus as something that isn't food since the ghoul genetic/epigenetic material might actually help inform the body that it's a child and not food?
