>Holodeck technology went from being very new and limited to special rooms to full-ship emitters and real holographic life with rights within a decade
This is another point. Machines, even holograms, changelings like Odo become "appointed" with identity and anthropocised in order to bring them into the social construction of the Federation and its values. We know that Odo is not a man, he's a blob. We know that the EMH is just a program, and when he glitches out everyone realises he's a fucking program and they fix him the way someone would fix a program, but then they go on pretending to treat him like a sentient being. And don't get me started on Data the fucking toaster being given human rights simply because the alternative would be to open a loophole toward the disenfranchisement of minorities or something equally stupid.
Is it really so far fetched to believe that the Federation and its people don't acknowledge that they are being killed and cloned by teleporters considering all the other lengths their vile and insidious society tries to convince itself that it is a perfect eudaimonic utopia where every individual is a self-actualised being with fundamental rights? The meme they have fostered could and would be far more significant to the continuation of the Federation than the physical survival of any individual.
