I don't get it. So in the 24th century they can cure everything except your spine? I guess we're supposed to believe they can't fix Worf's spine because he's a Klingon?
What about that episode where that doctor was aging too fast and they used the transporter data to fix her DNA? Couldn't they just use transporter data to make Worf's spine better?

You're right op. Now what?

Is that a riddle?
This episode has dated extremely poorly.
He was a stubborn spine.

You mean like how Geordi had glasses even though they should be clone him some new ones?

Imagining a society that is realistically affected by the mindbogglingly advanced technology portrayed in Star Trek is very difficult. It is far easier to use futuristic trappings to tell stories about everyday human problems than tell stories about futurist problems.
Star Trek is solidly in the former camp and knows it, which is why the show cares so little about consistently exploiting the implications of its technology.
Many Star Trek fans are in the latter camp; futurists who wonder about transporters, FTL, time travel, etc and what any of them could mean for humanity.
OP is such a fan. But he might not recognize the difference yet.

That is adressed in literally the first episode.
Whats the bigger oversight is why bashir had to get illegal augmentation since the federation has always been okay with genetic manipulation to reverse birth defects and things like that. Seems like being a retard would qualify.
