  1. The doctor has his ethical subroutines preventing him from doing harm.

That is fine in a doctor/patient relationship, but the captain has a captain/crew relationship, she would cause a lot of harm and loose two good crew members if she had let it be.

The two crew members that were lost at the same time Tuvix appeared? The dead (not alive) ones? And again, square this with the speech she gave the Vidiians.

If you're going to refute, then address the whole thing.

The way I see it, the crewmembers didn't die, they merged, Tuvix is the result of a treatable condition.

I understand but disagree with that perspective. To me they were not alive at the time. However, you still haven't accounted for the rest. Reconcile the Majalis problem and Janeway's own speech to the Vidiians.
