* InformedWrongness: The bridge crew react react with horror to even the idea of voluntarily donating DNA to the Mariposans. Riker sneers at the idea of other "Rikers" running around the world, saying it would make him less "special." Picard confidently assures Granger that ''no one'' on the whole ship would ever agree to such a request (and no one suggests sending a request back to the Federation for volunteers in case ''anyone'' anywhere else in the Federation might feel differently). Apparently we're just supposed to accept that it's better to let an entire civilization die than to know that there are other people in the universe with the same genes as you.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Riker is supposed to be in the right when he kills his and Pulaski's clones, but the BrokenAesop used to justify it doesn't hold water with some viewers. In addition, when Riker says that having clones made of him is a repulsive thought and would make him less special, he's telling this ''to a clone.'' Geez, way to be not-so-InnocentlyInsensitive.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Riker is supposed to be in the right when he kills his and Pulaski's clones, but the BrokenAesop used to justify it doesn't hold water with some viewers. In real life and as shown in other parts of the franchise, a clone is an entirely separate person from the person they were cloned from, just an artificially created identical twin, not some abomination of science. In addition, when Riker says that having clones made of him is a repulsive thought and would make him less special, he's telling this ''to a clone.'' Geez, way to be not-so-InnocentlyInsensitive.

*** Of course, there could be differences on this point between Federation and Bajoran law. Moreover, the clone in "A Man Alone" was fully formed and conscious when killed; destroying half-formed clones like these ones could be [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment understood by the Federation as]] analogous to abortion rather than killing a sapient.
