    Technically, they could, but then you’ve got a hybrid person with full past memories of the others. Ethically touchy, since Tuvix would not be able to be with Tuvok’s family or Kes in the same manner previously.

      I feel like they could have kept Tuvix and Tuvok and given up Neelix…

      I kid. Mostly…

      I mean, that would be up to Kes and Tuvoks family to decide. Complex, but families and relationships often are.

      Not shining a light on the trek “transporters are actually infinite cloning beams” problem was probably for the best though.

        That’s been similarly tackled from the eugenics perspective on TNG with these guys:

        On the other hand, it’d be fun to have a Gary from Fallout type episode caused by the transporters.

            s2e18 “Up the Long Ladder” aka the planet Ireland episode.

            The other plot involves a more “refined” planet populated by clones who need fresh DNA to not degrade their society.

              Ahh the Ireland episode. That’s why. Ive skipped it for so long I forgot the plot lines.
