One is an amusing Ferengi one where Quark gets contractually stuck into having to sell his body parts while he's still alive. Great scenes with Liquidator Brunt. Has a surprisingly positive end for Quark.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 97 - Body Parts - 10 Jun 1996 2/2 The other is Keiko being injured and her baby has to be transplanted into Kira to be a surrogate. Was done to handle the real life pregnancy of Nana Visitor. The ep is a tad goofy, but has some nice character moments.
