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. But they tell you in the game that they are first of all bad people judging by the fact they're doing this to Ellie without her consent, that they have failed every single time before this, and that they would likely lie to Ellie about the chances of success if she asked about the success rate and probably would've taken her by force regardless of if she gave consent or not. Like, Joel is saving Ellie from some people who don't give a shit and will do whatever they can for another likely failed crack at a cure. That's the sticking point here. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:940624655] in **SPOILER ...
