I don't buy that there were no decent people left in the whole world. We didn't meet the global population during our journey; Ellie's not the only kid out there, just the only one we're presented with.

Ellie also wasn't the only person that was immune. The fireflies had 13(?) other people that were immune that resulted in nothing. They can find more people that are immune instead of Ellie to experiment with. It was no guarantee that the operation would result in a cure for humanity. And after everything Joel has been through in his life, he doesn't find it worth it.

Ellie will die from the operation and there is a good chance of getting no cure.

It seemed pretty clear that without a cure, humanity was fucked. The needs of the many and all that, no pain no gain.

It was in Joel's character to pick Ellie over the world, of course, but it wasn't in my character.
