Janeway did the right thing. Can't change my mind.
-
I have changed my opinion from "Janeway did nothing wrong" to "Janeway did the right thing"
It's a subtle, but important, distinction.
-
the only thing janeway did wrong was not going back in time and doing it again.

Agreed, the other choice would have resulted in the loss of two individuals with very important individual functions that couldn't realistically be compressed down to one person when they were stranded
The only other option that they could have done was some sort of transporter cloning shenanigans, cloning Tuvix and then separating the "original". But that comes with a whole separate set of ethical implications on its own
-
Tuvix didn't ask to be born, contributed to the Voyager, and pleaded for his life. She was a monster!
-
It's an ethical morass with no "correct" answer, unless there was some way to preserve three distinct sentient entities. Janeway had to make a choice and all the choices were bad.
-
Not really. There is a correct choice. This is the equivalent of if you have two people dying who need transplants, so let's murder someone to harvest their organs so the other two can live. What Janeway did was morally bankrupt, and the only person on that crew with any semblance of morality was The Doctor.

Love the little touch with Janeway/Sisko's names chef's kiss

Janeway was the worst captain of the series. Not just for Tuvix, but for capitulating to her ego and stomping the ethos of Starfleet simply because "challenges."
It's like the writers wanted us to dislike her.
-
My understanding is that there were two different visions of Janeway that never got reconciled. Because of it, she comes off as bipolar in the series.
-
bipolar leadership that’s so… unrealistic
