there i a thread discussing the ending already, but the more threads about the last of us the better

here is a question, if people came and told you that they wanted to KILL your daughter to save other people, would you let them do it?

Depends. Will her death save the world? :P lol

so you would let other people kill your daughter?

and does it save the world? really? humanity has survived for 20 years with the infection. it wont "save" the world, it will save lifes, it will make peoples lifes easier, it will make things much better. but the world isnt ending for it to be saved. 

I say this as a person who has no children so my view of it all is slightly skewed.

I see what you mean tho, and I suspect this is exactly what went through Joel's head. What would letting them experiment on and kill Ellie really had accomplished? Yes they would get insight to how the virus works and how Ellie was able to be immune. This does not mean that they would have assuredly been able to make a cure tho. No garrantee at all that it would even prove useful. Just a small glimmer of hope that it will. Is your loved one's death worth a hunch? Most definitely not.
