As a Right-Wing Redneck Republican the Destroy option is the only morally justifiable option in my book.

With Synthesis, you are playing God. Something no one, no matter how 'wise' or 'intelligent' has the right to do or can be trusted to do without mucking it up somewhere.

With Control, the possibility exists of the Cycles continuing because the Big Bad Things going around Slaughtering People aren't dead yet!!!! Picking Control is akin to allowing the Nazis to stay in power with the caveat that the German President is picked by Liberal-Democrats. Ain't gonna work.

The Control option; destroys the Big Bad Machines going around Slaughtering People and imposing their ethical and moral views on everyone. It is the only morally justifiable option, the others are shades of evil, Control is the only good option.

How it should have ended: Shepard picks to Destroy the Reapers. Crucible fires, Citadel is getting destroyed. Shepard survives the blast and is picked up by the Normandy. The Doc saves his life as his implants begin to fail. Normandy gets marooned on a Planet and Shepard lives the rest of his days with his squad while pumping out the next master-race with Ashley Williams. Reapers Die.
