To me, their is only 1 Star Trek, although DD9 was the best of the non TOS Star Trek's.

Speaking of which, a comparable episode in DS9 when Bashir & Dax discovered a planet by tracing a distress call. The people there defied the Dominion in years past and had been left a parting gift of a deadly disease being genetically programmed into them which was slowly killing them off, whittling down their numbers year by year. When it struck the victims were resigned to their fate, would be taken to a 'healer' to be euthanized. No hope for survival of their demoralized culture until Bashir came up with a way to beat it.
