Re: Who is Your Least Favorite Character?

It's fallible on the part of the characters who claim it that Ellie is the only chance to save humanity. (At least, I believe it is from what I recall. If they were presented as knowing this with certainty somehow, I'd just call that bad writing because nobody can know something like that for sure.) Humans would still live on for a while if she wasn't sacrificed, and there's as much of a chance of another cure being developed without needing to kill anyone as there is of the procedure on Ellie being successful -- that is, it's a toss-up.

She's the only known character to have this mutation at all in the last 20 years. She's the first person in 20 years to develop an immunity to any behavioral changes while having the fungus in her brain stem. Which is where it lives. So if they do find someone else with the same immunity which could mean a vaccine, they would still need to get into the brain stem. So, no, no chance of a cure being developed without needing to kill someone. Humans would still live, with the caveat that thousands would continue to die each day from the disease and subsequent environments created by it until someone else comes by with this mutation, or humans would still live, with the caveat that thousands would continue to die each day from the disease and subsequent environments created by it until the whole species dies out from continuing to lose more people each year than are born.

It's only a toss up of the procedure leading to a cure. Which, when your options are Absolutely No vs Maybe.... I'm gonna go with Maybe.
