What bothers me the most about that episode is that, for all of Tuvix’s plighting at everyone, not a single spoiled aboard that ship took his side.
I mean, really? Are we supposed to believe that no one thought he should live? Or that Janeway ran some kind of terror ship that nobody dared voice a contrarian opinion?

Janeway was very “shut up ya dumb hologram! I’m indifferent about whether you should even have any rights at all, so don’t push it or you’re next” about it
It was more a Hippocratic oath thing than actual empathy, if my memory serves. Or at least I took that way. At any rate, an episode written to be divisive and with no clear answer, and only the program coded to “do no harm” is against terminating the patient? I doubt that very much.
That’s a type of transporter accident we haven’t seen before.
SNW made it canon that they can beam genes into Spock’s eyes, so beaming the skeleton out of someone must be possible.

Ah, I see you’ve watched Voyager before.
The Doctor was massively against it.

I have never been able to solve this one for my own self. No idea what I would do Janeway’s shoes, and I’ve pondered it a fair amount.
It could go either way. I wouldn’t be able to terminate a creature pleading for their life. But it bothers me that the whole crew was one-sided.
