Possibly, but you know who has a history of surviving things that would kill any other crew member and has exhibited at least incredible radiation resistance even in that very same episode?

Also, it's very un-starfleet to consider one member of the crew more irreplaceable or valuable than any other, even if it is true.

Everyone on the crew is irreplaceable. Data wouldn't want special treatment
