So I started re-watching my STAR TREK VOYAGER series. I watched the episode entitled “NOTHING HUMAN” with that great character actor David Clennon (Palmer from THE THING) playing the role of a “hologram version” of a Cardassian “Dr JOSEPH MENGELE” who was responsible for tortuous experiments resulting in the deaths of thousands of Bajorans. Now the drama of the show is that Torres is on deaths door and the only way to help her is to use the knowledge obtained from the “Dr.’s” past experiments to save her life. Now the writer’s take on the subject was that it was immoral to use the info obtained from those “horrific” experiments and to delete the program instead of using the Dr. and his knowledge in the future. Ok. So that’s what they did on the show.
My 2 cents…. I get that they wanted to disassociate themselves with a Nazi-like Doctor working in the sick bay on the ship. BUT… he is only a hologram version and not the real Dr. that committed the actual crimes. The hologram version wants to use the “tainted” info from the past crimes to help future patients. “If” I were one of those victims, I wouldn’t want my death to be in vain and I would want the info gained from those horrific experiments (on myself and others) to be used to help others in the future. Keep the hologram on board and turn a negative into a positive. That’s my own opinion.
Who agrees and who disagrees…… :confused
