I want to give some credit to this community, and suggest that some vocal advocates for killing Tuvix are just doing so to wind others up.

I’ve advocated that Janeway did nothing wrong. My primary motive is that it annoys my fellow Trek fans. I know I’m wrong, but I’m not even repentant. It’s such an interesting discussion, and I enjoy being on the wrong side of it.
Tuvix did nothing wrong
I generally respect Janeway’s focused attitude: yeah there are rules, but they can try me for my crimes IN THE FUCKIN’ ALPHA QUADRANT goddamnit…
But Tuvix man…
She murdered my boy. <sniff>
I 100% guarantee if Tuvix looked normal, ST fans would have a very different perspective when it comes to killing him.
We would be cool with his murder?
Unfortunately most ST fans I see openly advocate for the killing of Tuvix.
Openly advocate?
I mean . . . I wouldn’t say that.
It’s a flawed premise to begin with. Just like the “Shaka, when the walls fell” was a flawed premise. But it gave us an interesting sci-fi episode.
Yes, openly advocate. At least that’s what I see whenever the debate comes up.

It was a difficult situation but I don’t think Janeway made the wrong decision.
Neither did Janeway.
What’s a little bit of murder when compared to her other crimes, eh?
