It’s something that has bothered me since I realised

Or if they don’t have onboard sensors designed to do that then why not do that

Because someone who is unconscious or unable to move isn’t going to be able to call for help

    well, Sisko was pretty clear “We don’t do that shit”

    Which might sound hypocritical with some of the actions he took, but actions of an individual that would face consequences vs actions of an institution that are beyond oversight are very different beasts

      I completely agree. I think that’s the closest they come to a conclusion on the matter. They recognized that sometimes they have to make choices they wouldn’t otherwise make, or that they’d condemn under better circumstances, but they stand ready to face the consequences once the choice has been made. They generally make them out in the open, or reveal them after the need for secrecy ends.
