I'd think that since they know how to de-age a person (leaving memories intact) using the transporter, he'd rejuvenate himself to a younger biological age. The athleticism of a person in his mid-20s to 30s with the experience of whatever chronological age he is.

Jean-Luc is wise enough to know the moral problem that would present. He knows that if he did it it would become regular practice by those rich enough to afford transporters and these bourgeoisie would then further oppress the proletariat masses thus disintegrating the Federation's fragile democracy.

Self sacrifice for the good of the Federation. All hail Picard!

The Federation has moved beyond money. Material needs do not exist in the 24th Century. Everyone is free to improve themselves. That is, there are no rich and no poor, everyone has access to transporters and replicators. Free rejuvenation for everyone!

Prof. Tek,

Yay!

History lesson. Everyone on their carpet squares, it's story time:

"Polly put the kettle on" was published in 1797. The origin of "Polly put the kettle on" was based on the author having five children - two boys and three girls. There were constant arguments as the boys wanted to play soldiers and the girls wanted to play house! When the girls wanted to play without their brothers they would pretend to start a game of tea party "Polly put the kettle on" and the daughter, called Polly, would put the toy kettle on! As soon as the brothers left Sukey (or Susan) would take it off again! Their father was so amused by this ploy that he set it to words and added the music which were subsequently published.

Won't my mommy be so proud of me

(Did you know there was a second verse to "I'm a Little Teapot"?)

I'm talking about I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle [one hand on hip], here is my spout [other arm out straight]
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!
[as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout]

I'm a clever teapot, yes it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can change my handle to my spout [switch arm positions and repeat tipping motion]
Just tip me over and pour me out

Ms. Name,

They didn't die because they were poor, they died because they didn't improve their intelligence.

//raises hand and jumps up in seat... I knew! I knew! But I heard it as, "I'm a special teapot, yes it's true. Let me show you what I can do"

When daughter was a wee little thing I would walk her around her room at night "singing" along with a CD of kid songs and I was shocked to learn the second verse. I was even more shocked that my "singing" would actually put her to sleep.

I'm impressed, I had never heard a second verse.
