So let me ask this then. This isn't a gotcha, but more just to see what you think. If the game stopped and let you decide between:

Joel going on a murder spree to save Ellie's life after they took her without consent to crack her head open for a cure, in which they've stated they've had zero success with despite trying countless times to use immune people for the cure

or

Joel letting Ellie die for a very slim chance of a cure being made, without Ellie's consent

What do you choose?

Probably option B but that's missing the point because both are bad choices. It's not that Joel's choice isn't understandable or that the doctors aren't also in the wrong, it's that Ellie should be the one choosing and Joel is MORE in the wrong. The game makes the case that Ellie most likely would have chosen to try to find the cure had she known, but Joel is making his choice because he personally does not want to give up Ellie. That's what makes him selfish and the villain in that situation.
