DS9 said that genetic modification was still allowed for the treatment of serious illnesses. So it doesn’t make sense for all permanent genetic modification to be banned.

The franchise is fairly consistent about genetic enhancements (i.e., augmentation) are illegal, while medical procedures are not. The Darwin station is the biggest outlier.

They didn’t say anything about it in “Masterpiece Society” either.

That colony wasn’t a member of the Federation, though.> Also, when Torres was pregnant in Voyager, she wanted the Doctor to modify her baby to remove Klingon traits and no one said it was illegal.

One could argue that’s not an augmentation.

Right now, memes are welcome in the main community.

If and when we feel the need to make the split, Risa will rise-a again.

Ah, but that very Technical Manual (ch. 12.5) clearly states that solid waste is transported through linear induction utlity conduits - no mention of dematerialization, except in the case of those materials that cannot be recycled by mechanical or chemical means!
