Re: Who is Your Least Favorite Character?

DA

Is it though? It's been twenty years and humanity is losing to this fungus. They've NEVER seen anyone immune before. Ellie is the only hope. It's definitely not shitty logic.

da but I don't recall it ever being said that there was any sort of guarantee that they would be able to find a cure from Ellie?

Because if there was a chance that it all might amount to nothing, then no, I don't blame him one bit for not wanting to hand over a child in the HOPES that MAYBE they might be able to find a cure.

I guess that's where we differ, because that there was no guarantee of a cure is no reason to stop someone from having the procedure. It was the first chance they'd seen in over a decade. So the options were No Chance Of a Vaccine and Possible Chance of a Vaccine.

I don't blame him one bit for not wanting to hand over a child in the HOPES that MAYBE they might be able to find a cure.

That's not why he does it. He doesn't care if there was a guarantee. He would have done the same even if there was a 100% chance of a cure. He does it for purely selfish reasons, which is why he lies to her at the end. He knows that she would have been angry with him and gone right back. It wasn't about "oh you immoral people, killing a child in the hopes of saving humanity." It was "I don't want to feel the emotional pain of losing my dead-daughter replacement because I never dealt with her death in the first place." It's purely selfish.

And really, "Guarantee of hundreds of child deaths" vs "Guarantee of one child death that may stop the hundreds of child deaths" is a no-brainer. I hope you people are never in charge of others.

Given that I would never sacrifice a living child in the faint hope that it might somehow be useful, I don't want to be in charge of others.
