That's nothing. It's established that the transporter can keep you alive indefinitely in the pattern buffer, make an exact copy of you and turn you back into a child.
Not enough people recognize the transporter is an immortality engine. Thank you for being this important point to light. It would actually solve the Lower Decks question if how do the officers come back to life instead of the black mountain and screaming koala.
Only the bridge crew gets immortality.
This is almost canon thanks to Lower Decks where Lt. Shaxs died heroically in one episode and then a few episodes later was back at his post, with one lower-ranking crewman explaining it to the other with a simple "he's bridge crew" and a shrug.
That's why I said it. :)
Scotty jury-rigged it that way with him and another guy, and the other guy didn't make it. Dr M'Benga also did it for his daughter, and he had to refresh the system periodically and make sure nothing else messed with it while she was in there.
It can work, but it's unreliable and/or has heavy maintenance requirements.
It was also being used in the flashback episode where M'Benga and Chapel were medics on the front lines of the Klingon war, they were using an evacuation transporter to store critically wounded soldiers who couldn't be patched up with the equipment they had on hand. Led to a difficult moral dilemma where they needed to clear the buffer to accept more incoming wounded in need of treatment.
The more routine it gets in the show, the harder it is to explain its absence.
It's also established on Voyager that it's severely time-limited and can't be used for lengthy periods! Also, wormholes obey the laws of music.
Scotty did it for 75 years with more primitive equipment.
Poor Franklin!
