Question by Daddy19

Answer: "Miri"

Miri, whom the episode is named after, is the young pre-teen who develops a crush on Captain Kirk. Miri is played by Kim Darby, of "True Grit" fame, the original 1969 movie also starring John Wayne and Glen Campbell.

In the course of this episode Miri also has the beginning signs of this deadly disease since she had reached puberty.

Well, I don't want to give away the whole episode, but McCoy and Spock figure out that this disease was a horrible side-effect of a "Life Prolongation" project whose purpose was to unimaginably extend human life.

They therefore had a competitive waste management industry, which resulted in Controller Emck dumping his cargo of waste in "The Void". Unfortunately, this resulted in the indigenous species contracting theta radiation poisoning.
