(or create multiple copies so you can stay in bed while the other "you" goes to work!)
Pretty sure they've used the "Pattern buffer" to cure characters of super alien diseases and other effects.
Scotty 'Survived' his ship crashing into a 'Lost' and uncharted Diason sphere by re-jigging the "Pattern-buffer" to store him untill he was stumbled over by Picard and crew. Since all the crash ship had to do was keep enough trickle power to said buffer and not life support. Not to mention food suplies etc.
Trek has never really investigated the potentials of its proposed technology. In my opinion.
Cheers.
Surely you jest.
