While I find all of the acts morally questionable, the one that I find to be the worst is Sisko poisoning the planet.

I agree, that and the Klingon ruining a whole biosphere just to keep Picard from recovering the DNA fragment were global scale. Phlox also aced badly--the old species could have been relocated perhaps. Lastly, Spock' forced mindmeld of Valeris was definately of the Gitmo/waterboard variety--and yet still had to be done to avoid something worse Inglorius Bast**d style.
 
In "Hide and Q," Riker letting the girl colonist stay dead, because using his Q powers to save her would validate Q.
 
Endgame!

Risking letting super-powered future tech fall into Borg hands just to make Janeway feel a bit less alone at Voyager reunion parties. Gross.
 
When Picard throws away the artifact Prof Galen gave him, while looking for his dumb scrapbook. That was pretty low.
