DS9: Sons of Mogh. SPOILERS AHEAD!
It was a good episode until that ending. Without warning or consent, Worf and Bashir erase Kurn's memory and identity shortly after he passed out drunk. One of the most disturbing and unethical moments in Star Trek, putting shame on Worf and also Bashir who had established a reputation as a principled doctor before. How can you take a doctor seriously who talks about ethics but erases a person's identity without their knowledge? He must have been aware that if asked, Kurn would very likely have opposed, so presumably he erases him against his will. I wonder how Bashir reconciled this with his Hippocratic Oath.
