| May 27, 2017 at 0:10 | comment | added | DCShannon | I don't want to spend all the time to properly research this, but none of these answer seem to mention that the doctor has a "matrix", that the show presents this as something that can't be copied, and that the ship is supposed to only be able to support one. | |
| May 26, 2017 at 13:33 | comment | added | komodosp | Because the doctor is represented by a reference type, not a value type. | |

| Mar 5, 2017 at 17:59 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | @JohnSensebe It's relatively simple to write a driver to allow that, by reading the relevant data into memory then calling the relevant kernel function to page and execute it. However, the Enterprise may be slightly more complicated than Windows, so your point still stands. | |

| May 19, 2016 at 17:32 | comment | added | Ellesedil | @JeremyHeiler: You can bypass the morality by simply having all instances of the Doctor access and store their experiences in the same repository. Then, since all running instances of the Doctor will essentially have the same experiences and moralities, you can bypass the moral dilemma without concern. In fact, I'd leave it up to the Doctor's primary program to decide which copies to deactivate, so now the choice is entirely up to the Doctor. | |

| Nov 2, 2015 at 1:20 | comment | added | VapedCrusader | Interesting; that "separate power source" rule isn't true on TNG's enterprise- I remember Geordi having to justify keeping his holocrush running in 'booby-trap', when the ship is being slowly drained...maybe due to the expanded medical role of the technology on Voyager? | |

| Sep 5, 2014 at 14:58 | comment | added | Zibbobz | To answer your questions concerning "Concerning Flight", holographic technology has been shown on numerous occasions to require its own separate power source from the rest of the ship (Voyager specifically made reference to this), so even when the entire rest of the ship is losing power, it will still remain online. The power sources are also incompatable with each other, so they can't just plug the holodeck power generator in when they want to charge the ship. | |

| Nov 26, 2011 at 4:05 | comment | added | Jeremy | My question would be: If you copied the Doctor, would you then have two Doctors who could potentially become two different "people"? If so, killing the copy would be immoral. | |

| Nov 19, 2011 at 12:53 | comment | added | Xantec | In the episode Lifesigns the Doctor created a holographic body for a dying Vidiian while also loading the memories and synaptic patterns for them into the computer. This would seem to negate any supposed technological limitations in either the computer memory or the holo-emitters in-so far as not being able to run multiple "artificial" intelligences or complex holo-matrixes (yes, in this case I am considering any biological intelligence copied into a computer to be artifical). | |

| Nov 19, 2011 at 4:24 | comment | added | Chad Levy | Probably the same reason people can't be cloned by the transporter (except Riker and Evil Riker). There would be no peril for people and holographic doctors who could simply be replicated if lost. | |
