The Most Disliked Episode of DS9, 2023 Edition - Season 5...

[Farscape One]

Is Wolfe's story something you could share?

Considering what he told me, it's not my place to share.

I understand. Just asked in case you were waiting for someone to show interest

AMSHA: You don't know. You've never had a child. You don't know what it's like to watch your son. To watch him fall a little further behind every day. You know he's trying, but something's holding him back. You don't know what it's like to stay up every night worrying that maybe it's your fault. Maybe you did something wrong during the pregnancy, maybe you weren't careful enough, or maybe there's something wrong with you. Maybe you passed on a genetic defect without even knowing it.
RICHARD: Amsha
AMSHA: No, this is important. You can condemn us for what we did. You can say it's illegal or immoral or whatever you want to say, but you have to understand that we didn't do it because we were ashamed, but because you were our son and we loved you.

~ "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" is one of my favourite character episodes, and this little speech by Amsha never fails to bring me to tears. I'm welling up a bit now!

And as much as we understand the Bashir's sorrow, there's also this to consider, from the same episode...

"Two hundred years ago we tried to improve the species through DNA resequencing, and what did we get for our trouble? The Eugenics Wars. For every Julian Bashir that can be created, there's a Khan Singh waiting in the wings. A superhuman whose ambition and thirst for power have been enhanced along with his intellect. The law against genetic engineering provides a firewall against such men and it's my job to keep that firewall intact."
