They even threatened then with it. One of the Weyouns, like clone #5 or whatever, hosed up and one of the Jem Hadar or Founders or whatever was like "I hope we can expect better from #6," or something.

You lose whole atoms all the time, that are then replaced. You lose cells that are replaced. Your thoughts and mind changes all the time. Do you identify as the same person as five year old you? He was made up of totally different stuff and had totally different thoughts.

Truth is he's dead now, as are all the past yous, but it doesn't matter as long as there is continuity.

I still have the same teeth from birth to death though?

Are you retarded? You put your dirty plates back into the replicator and it sends all the molecules back into storage for later use.
Though its never shown, I think that's how clothing is cleaned too. Dirty clothes go in the replicator, clean clothes come back. The dirt molecules are stored away for later use.

he was both an idea and a real person and then he died and he wasn't a real person any more, only an idea

The art of washing a dish has been lost in Starfleet. In reality, whenever we break Prime Directive and interact with a primitive culture, we will dump on them all the dirty sheets, clothes and dishware we have.

TNG had an episode that revealed that an ancient civilization (maybe the first intelligent civilization?) thought they were alone in the galaxy so they went around seeding it with their DNA. So most intelligent species evolved from their genetic code or something.

They've still had millions of years of divergent evolution tho, none of these fuckers should be able to interbreed and the differences should probably be a bit more dramatic than slight variations on nose ridges.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
They can probably dereplicate anything back into it's constituent atoms and energy. So there is no garbage in the Star Trek universe.

The guy who made the Babylon 5 tv series wanted to do a reboot of the Star Trek franchise (before J.J "king of passable movies" Abrams got his hands on it) that took it for granted that all the major alien factions in Star Trek were related and the show's central storyline would concern this question as its ultimate story arc.
