I asked my fiance this past weekend a question regarding, Dr. Altan Inigo Soong , Data's human brother. Dr. Soong was a geneticist, I wonder if he and his wife created Data and Lore as a result of infertility?

Like they wanted to have a baby together but couldn't, so they made Data and Lore instead, and then later discovered after they lost contact with Data that they could have children and had Altan?

I don't remember it ever being implied in the show that synths were made to be substitutes for human children. My impression was that they were purely a scientific development. I could be wrong.

There's this quote in the OP
Quote:
I am standing up for the Federation – for what it should still represent.
Or maybe we'll get some 2nd season promo material to inspire us.

It's good to have a title idea organized.

obisgirl - I could totally see some couples considering the option of having a synth baby. Although then you'd also have to consider the ramifications of creating designer babies.

I like that title for the next thread. Would it too long though?

Star Trek is so good at exploring these ethical and moral issues. This would make a great episode, if done right.



I didn't watch DS9, but I think the doctor on that show was a genetic baby. His genes had been modified to be superior.



Especially since Picard is a synth now, you could have an episode or even an entire arc with Picard coming to terms with who he is now. This is where seeing Q again would be great. Would there be a new trial because of what happened to Picard in the finale?

It might be a bit long. It could be cut down a bit. We'll see.

Yes, it is. And in keeping the story relatable and not overly preachy.

I believe Julian Bashir was a normal baby and his parents had him enhanced to be smarter.

They're definitely going to have to address Picard coming to terms with his new reality.
