Yeah, she literally years later after a shit ton of trauma "consents" to it, but I can guarantee if she was asked when they got to the hospital she would at least hesitate if not refuse.

Its why they had to create a DLC to give Ellie a bunch of suicidal guilt to try and justify it, which is still not acceptable "consent" in any other discussion.

They literally have to break all their various rules and principles regarding informed and enthusiastic consent just to say "let the teenage girl be butchered for the greater good maybe."
