This wasn’t said at the time the decision to kill her was being made, so it doesn’t count as consent. Also doesn’t make Abby’s dad not a monster for going through with killing a young girl for the possibility of a cure.

And wasn’t that possibility under 100% anyway? There were audio logs showing they had tried this type of surgery before and it didn’t work out.

Basically this dude wanted to use human sacrifice of a little girl for the slight chance of gaining a cure that couldn’t even be widely circulated anyway, and I’m supposed to emphasize with that decision? Joel did what any dad would do in that situation and he got her out of there.

Sacrificing 1 to save countless lives in a post apocalyptic world? Tough argument to make him a "monster".

Joel's decision was a totally selfish one. I mean, you're arguing the ending of TLOU1 at this point.
