nobody thought they were going to kill her, it was always thought to be just testing. even marlene didnt know until the end when they had her and made the initial tests the doctors found out the only way they can get a vaccine is to basically kill her, this is what happens when you only watch the cutescene's. in one of the recordings you find during gameplay you find one for marlene, she talks about how she got informed that they have to kill her and how she is struggling to make the call whether or not to do it, marlene promised ellie's mother to take care of ellie and she wouldnt have sent her if she knew she would have to be killed in the first place, even at the end of the recording you can hear her say why she accepted and gave the green light to the doctors, because she is tired, not because of humanity, not because its the "right" thing to do, its because she was tired of the situation, she cant handle it, it was marlene who was selfish, not anybody else. the firelies initially thought they just needed blood tests and what not, everybody thought it was just a matter of tests and nothing would really happen to ellie.
