This is daft.
Even in the universe people age and die.
There is no way in hell any of these four would not restart their life as kids. Especially Guinan, winding back so many years. A few years “discomfort” of being a kid for a whole new life - no brainer.
And no way they would not then have a whole team research that “transporter accident”.

@revk this is another in a long list of episodes that would have wide-reaching consequences except nobody ever follows up and it's all forgotten next episode never to be touched on again. There's quite a lot of those in TNG

@revk From Fandom: "As Ro was not seen returning to an adult in this episode, the writing staff considered having her choose to remain a child. Jeri Taylor commented, 'Where else but on Star Trek could you do something like that? But it seemed too drastic for us, and we were sort of squelched on that.' (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (2nd ed., p. 223))" https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rascals_(episode)

@revk @jalanhenning Picard was offered a "reset" by Q not too far back from this and ended up turning it down

@lambtor @jalanhenning Well Q would come with a "cost" somehow I am sure, but a transporter accident would not.,

@revk Silly and fun is a better description.

@revk That episode was weird.

mansr,

@revk What's the context of this?

@mansr Sorry, StarTrek, TNG, S6E7, a fun episode, but like a few others totally radical in the context of the whole reality.

Basically 4 people become young, with no reason not to expect them to grow as normal, but with all their current memory and experience, all due to a transporter accident.

They were restored to normal age. Why?

mansr,

@revk Being treated like a child would perhaps be a bit too annoying, so maybe return the body to age 19 or so.

@mansr The option was to their previous (much older) age. That would be daft for all of them.
