But if you undo the curse like that doesn’t it also undo the immortality part?
Of course, but you’re already immortal in a TNG world. Transporters can easily modify your body to give you eternal youth, and of course cure any disease or injury. Just make sure your brainwaves/synapses are updated in near real time and refresh the rest of the body daily.
