Federation has ability to energize matter and reassemble living organism, keeping organism's functional structure intact. Can also make foodstuffs and materials from other matter.
Docs don't use this to rearrange bodily tissues in event of injury, aging, etc., condemning humans to death.

Well, you need to have the right certificate, and the Galactic Medical Practioners Association has forbidden the use of machines which render their occupation obsolete. State-granted monopoly FTW!

What about the Emergency Protocol Doc from Voyager? He essentially renders their jobs useless, since he is an intelligent hologram and the only doctor on the ship!

Remember Mudd's Women? Kirk decides to pursue Mudd's freighter for no real reason (stated reason being "smuggling" -- as if a starship on a mission of exploration and science is supposed to take time out for enforcement of unjust tariffs to begin with) and after they chase him into an asteroid field which results in the destruction of his ship, they make it sound like his fault. Talk about adding insult to injury!
Then, after various shenanigans, they discover Mudd's even greater "crime" -- he has been supplying a bunch of ugly old hags with "The Venus Drug" which makes them young and beautiful. Imagine the horror! Someone is using the advanced biochemical science of the day to help make people's lives more enjoyable!
I mean, I love Roddenberry's creativity and scientific vision, but politically he bought into every shallow preconception the socialist media has ever dreamed up.

tzor wrote:You said Next Gen? I'll need a specific citation for that and I'll bet you it's one of those accidental non canon ones. Replicator technology at the Next Generation level was impressive but it was bulk rearrangement on the molecular level at best. Foodstuff conversation was molecular rearrangement of an existing bio replicator food source. Replication at the detailed molecular level, especially that of complex molecules that are required for a living cell was not a part of the Next Gen Canon.
There were interesting discussions on the possible nature of replicator surgery, but while also non canon, surgery in general isn't all that discussed either. Replication of actual living tissue was out as far as canon was concerned.

TA1LGUNN3R wrote: So all the people who went through the transporter are missing organelles and anything smaller than proteins?

I recall there being quite a bit of war and strife in Star Trek. Of course, it was humans against other, horrible things so that's okay, right?
