I never understood how transporters are not basically used as quicksave devices. Redshirt died on the planet after beaming down? Just create another copy from the transporter puffer. Tuvix deserves to live. Sure, just recreate tuvok and Neelix from the transporter puffer.
Edit: “Transporter puffer” may come from me watching the German dub
I think tuvix was asking for it. Remember that time he swapped out Janeway’s bra for a slightly smaller one. And it irritated her to the point she committed genocide on the breegans. He knew what was coming.

Of course Janeway made the right choice. Anyone who says otherwise is either trolling or sexist. No one would care if it was Picard splitting Guiker or Sisko splitting Quira.
Picard would have justified his choice. Janeway didn’t even try.
That’s not an indictment of Janeway, but of the lazy writers of that episode.
If only they could recreate the transporter accident that makes a perfect copy of a person. Then all that has to happen is to take the clone and split it before it realizes anything.
That way EVERYONE could exist together.
Most of the crew dies offscreen, they just keep duplicating them all the time.
I could see Janeway being based and using it that way
It could also solve the need for clones of the Vorta. The Dominion could just pop another one out of the buffer and not have to depend on cloning facilities.
God I didn’t even think of that. Instant army. Altho, for that matter, you could also just use a replicator to fabricate an instant army of killbots.
I wonder if killbots would be better than the Jem’hadar. Certainly a Jem’killbot cyborg would be better than both.
I’m sure the Dominion put that to the test at some point.
Though with the power of the dominion, it wouldn’t shock me if they invented the borg that way and the time shenanigans happened
