They didn’t say anything about it in “Masterpiece Society” either.

That colony wasn't a member of the Federation, though.> Also, when Torres was pregnant in Voyager, she wanted the Doctor to modify her baby to remove Klingon traits and no one said it was illegal.

One could argue that's not an augmentation.

    But they have discussions about it in the episode and no one brought up any laws about it. Picard even says he disapproves of it personally but says nothing about it being banned.

    From Dr. Bashir, I Presume: "DNA resequencing for any reason other than repairing serious birth defects is illegal."

    The Doctor specifically said that many of the modifications Torres wanted to make had nothing to do with the baby's health.
