      People argue about it instantly decades later. That proves it was effective.

        All it proves was that the dilemma itself is effective.

        The episode and its resolution are crap, because they don’t justify her decision. They leave it to the viewer. They do a disservice to everyone involved.

      It’s clear to me that if a sentient crewmate says “please don’t kill me” you should not murder them, no matter how grief stricken you are.

      Tuvok and Neelix were dead.

      (I do like this episode)

        ‘Dead’ is a very fluid boundary. More so than usual, in this case.

          There being a method of resurrection doesn’t make a person any less dead. They were dead, but Janeway the necromancer knew how to bring them back to life. All it took was a sacrifice.
