Visit http://trekkies.againsttorture.com and help us send a message to J.J. Abrams that Star Trek is no place to glorify torture as he has done in Alias, Lost and in other projects.
Here: Excellent episode about medical ethics with SPECIAL guest star and human rights advocate David Clennon.

  • Gotta love Cardassians.

  • Lame. They should have kept the information. Regardless of how the information was obtained, it is still information that can do potential good. Many people died against their will for Crell's experiments. At the very least, their suffering should not be in vain. I say keep the information, and make good use of it.

  • @informant007 Yes, despite the flaws I also still liked it. I've actually liked all the Trek series even though they were all flawed to varying degrees.

  • @davenielsen78 That's an excellent point... I hadn't considered that before. You're absolutely right. The Borg technology was obtained through the deaths of countless millions of lives. Using the same logic the Doctor applied, it would invalidate the use of Borg technology. Another glaring inconsistency from a troubled series (I still enjoyed it, though).

  • @ApemanD

    That is an excellent point I had not considered before.

  • @ukchristian28 I guess they figure it might be seen as condoning what was done and might possibly validate any future work as morally reprehensible - "the end justifies the means" kind of thing. Still, the Doctor only deleted the program after his patient had been saved. All he's done is doom anyone in a similar situation in the future, and possibly (depending on how far another Doctor might go to save someone) causing the same horror to be repeated.

  • @informant007 Plus it's funny he chooses to do that only after using that knowledge. All he's done is deny anyone else its benefit. Though not really, because as you pointed out he can't forget.  Really he should have deleted the knowledge from his own memory as well.

  • @101101101777 One whose defence was I think pretty airtight - he personally didn't commit any crimes.

  • Janeway and crew had previously been fine with using Borg technology. Since they know the Borg invent nothing but only assimilate from other species, they knew they were using knowledge obtained in ways just as bad as this Cardassian. So what's the difference? As in real life, the Voyager crew are only moral when they can't personally benefit. Torres at least had the guts to say no. Shouldn't the Doctor, really, have deleted the program and not treated her?

  • The Doc is such an advocate for hologram equality too, yet he deleted one.
