First, please don't turn this into a political or theological debate. In response to your comment, yes, Destroy seems to be the moral choice throughout the Mass Effect series, but, if the God Child was correct about the " Cycle" (providing the Geth were a rare exception), than Destroy leads to far more deaths in the long run and immediately if you consider the Quarians and the Geth (if you consider fully sentient and alive to be synonymous, which I do). With Control, you're only delaying the problem, synthetics will eventually rise up and kill all organics and the Reapers can't last forever. Synthesis seems to be the only logical and moral choice. No one dies, the Cycle is ended, and we reach "the final step in evolution".
