Wait so then why don't they duplicate people all the time? The galaxy could use another Data.

Because the star trek transporter is pretty much the definition of deus ex machina, with a particularly lazy deus that only works every few episodes

@explodicle @startrek I think it’s best not to ponder the capabilities of the transporter too closely, otherwise it kinda breaks the world.

I wonder if that falls under eugenics, too close to cloning.

They had a pretty broad definition of "eugenics" anyways. Bashir's parents did nothing wrong.
