one of the weirdest things about star trek is why replicator/teleporter technology (they are the same) havent completely destroyed the concept of senescence within the societies that can afford to use the technology. in this episode of ds9, for example, chief o'brian comes down with sudden inexplicable Wernicke’s aphasia. and they cant fix him in sickbay, but for some reason they also do not airlock him and just print out a new copy from the transporter.
