        I was asking myself the same questions of, was it right? should it be the sacrifice of one for the many? Would the vaccine be enough to undo everything? Then I thought, if we knew for sure the vaccine would lead to a world without infected, then would it be worth it? Finally I thought, was Joel just being selfish, because he couldn't lose another kid? Then I realized I was asking the wrong questions. I was over thinking it.

        Ask yourself these questions. If you were Joel and you went through everything they went through together, what would you do? Now picture that it's not Ellie but someone you love? Now a real life scenario, Someone comes to you and says, someone you love without equal has brain cancer, but they need no treatment. It seems something in their dna mutated the cancerous cells and they are releasing a fluid that seems to increase the bodies natural healing 3 fold. Essentially saying they will live a full life with no sickness. Then say Your loved one is the cure to cancer and possibly other diseases. But the tumor is inside the brain, and the loved one wouldn't survive surgery, but would save many others. What would you do?

        As I thought about this I realized, I didn't even have to go that far, by that point in the game I cared for her in such a real way, just as Joel does. When I realised that, then saving Ellie was an easy decision and I couldn't believe I had to think about it. This makes it the most human ending in any game I have experienced.

        It shows that, in life, when it comes to emotions, if we love someone enough, there is no line we will not cross to save them. It is scary to think what you would do, but if it was my daughter's life on the line. It wouldn't be a choice, I wouldn't hesitate or have to think about it. Joel shows the decision you would really make. Then lying to her removed the crushing weight of being the cure and also lets her be happy and not feel guilty for it. Joel has to live with that lie, an easy price to pay. Lying to protect your kid is parent 101. Again the game shows, people will do whatever needs to be done, to protect those they love...

Yes I would give up someone I love to cure cancer

I'm sorry you can say that... I hope you get to experience what it's like to love someone as much as I was talking about.

I'm sorry your so Selfish I guess you haven't spent a lot of time in the cancer ward of a hospital or lost people to cancer or had cancer yourself

What does anything I said have to do with me being selfish personally? I was being sincere with what I said when I replied to you and yes, I've seen what cancer does first hand last year. When my father suffered a kind of death I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So don't act like you know me as a person. You attacking me personally shows you don't have the maturity needed to handle this kind of discussion, so this will be my last reply to you. Take care.
