Every science fiction show has done it, or something similar. It amount to a "classic" moral dilemma. The question is how well executed and how believable the resolution, not whether it is an original idea.
In the Ron Moore version this might actually work better than most I've seen, even if it does end up as the tired "humanity triumphs over all original loyalties."
I never did think Seven of Nine's evolution was particularly well done.
