Could Kira have a half cardassian half sibling?

Dunno. I presume our heroes (and the villains) have some kind of contraception available. Injections or whatnot. Injections that could be either missed or not available to the rank & file (hence the no. of orphans)
But sure -- from an in-universe POV it's by no means impossible. Doubt it entered the writers mind, mind you.

I always half-thought the implication was that Dukat *was* Kira's father. In which case, yes, Ziyal would be that sibling. (But then again, that would make Kira half-Cardassian, too.)
Not possible, since Kira's birth was before her mother even met Dukat.
I'm not sure how Kira could possibly be half Cardassian without knowing it. Even if she was cosmetically altered like Seska, no way she and her doctors would completely miss this for thirty years.
If Meru did have a child with Dukat, he would have said so to torment Nerys more and when she looked up Meru's records she would have found out.

They played around with the idea in this episode http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Skin_(episode)
It would probably would have increased Dukat's savior/father complex and made Kira hate him more.
I guess based on Second Skin, it suggests they can transform a Cardassian to a Bajoran in a way that's fully biologically convincing even under close medical scrutiny.
Could they really have done it though to a child and had the child grow, experience puberty, and develop completely in the same manner as a normal Bajoran? And, why would any Cardassian do this to an infant?

Not necessarily. Dukat is into some pretty sick sh_t.
He said he was going to kill her, but he was able to be talked out of it awfully easily.
You'd think the Cardassians, particularly ones of Dukat's status would be very careful not to get comfort women pregnant. As Ziyal proved these children would ruin these officers personal and professional lives. Make you wonder why Dukat allowed this to happen at all.
Well, there's plenty of evidence that how Dukat is perceived is of paramount importance to him, and that he's also fundamentally a coward. With Kira right there ready to kill him if he killed Ziyal, of course he wasn't going to go through with it.
Now, if he'd found Ziyal independently, I could totally see him quietly disappearing her.
Nana Visitor was both opinionated and protective of Kira. I'm not sure whether she, Shimerman or Auberjonois expressed their opinion most, but Visitor was certainly one of the talent that was adamant with Behr about what she wanted Kira to do and not to do.Indeed, there is a sense that she always got her way. As much as she enojoyed stories that forced Kira to reconsider he attitude toward Cardassians, Visitor viscerally opposed any attempt to develop intimacy between Kira and Dukat. Indeed, Visitor has said that the sight of Alaimo made up as Dukat made her shudder and angered her. She was surprised how generous and charming Alaimo could be the first time he visited Visitor and Siddig at home. I think that attitude was on display during the season six arc, when Kira was being pushed into the role of a surrogate mother to Ziyal: she continued to oppose Dukat. I suspect quite strongly that the writers would have seen developing a closer relationship, whether romantic or familial, between Kira and Dukat as a dramatic failure. Indeed, Visitor's attitude toward Dukat is put to use in "Wrongs Greater Than Night or Death."
I'm glad there was no romantic relationship between them though I always felt that Dukat was developing feelings for Kira. I thought that dynamic was very well done.
Yep.
Not necessarily. Dukat is into some pretty sick sh_t.
Tell me about it. Just look at what the novelverse has mentioned about him and (sort of) Kira:
Remember Iliana Ghemor, the Cardassian who went undercover as Kira? Eventually Dukat got ahold of her and kept her as a sex slave.
You'd also think that by the 24th century, birth control would be 100% effective, and all comfort women would be required to take it.
