In the 2100s, maybe.

Matter is matter, it doesn't matter where it came from. I'm sure they use waste in the 24th century as well. No sense throwing out perfectly good atoms. It's broken down and turned into new things, you're not literally eating shit, but the atoms/energy that shit used to be.

Thinking about deuterium makes me angry though because of that plot point in Voyager where they're running low. Deuterium is made from hydrogen, an estimated 75% of all normal matter in the universe is hydrogen. How the hell do you run out deuterium?

Deuterium is made from Hydrogen, 1/3 of all matter in the universe is hydrogen. How the hell do you run out deuterium?
What always amused me is a few years after that episode there was another episode of Voyager which completely contradicted that. Aliens steal Voyager's deuterium supply, and everyone's just scratching their heads asking "why would anyone steal deuterium? You can take it from everywhere."

I forgot about that. But at least that one made sense, the void was well, void of all matter.

According to Memory-Alpha there was also a plot point in an Enterprise episode that Deuterium was a very valuable substance.
I mean maybe in the 22nd Century it was still hard to make on massive scale for some species.

Is it me, or does "The Void" make a very good trap for bad guy StarShips.
If you know where it's location in subspace is relative to Normal Space and where the Anomalies will likely occur, you can lure an enemy ship into "The Void" and trap it inside.
 
Not the first time we've seen such a thing. But I prefer this to, say, "Turnabout: Intruder."

I guess if any civilization would know what the Organians were like as corporeal beings, the Medusans would.
