Talk:Lorelei Tsing/@comment-28398720-20160807033116

I feel that in a lot of ways, Dr. Tsing was the darker version of Abby on the Ark. Both chief Medical, both disobeyed orders from the top doing what they thought was necessary to save their people, both decision were misguided in a lot of ways. The difference is that Abby was mainly motivated by her hope\need to save Clarke (individual) while presumably Tsing was doing it just for the greater good.

Btw, don't think that Abby didn't do questionable things on the Ark, where medicine was regulated. In the Pilot she was almost floated for saving the chancellor, but how many times beforehand she had to withdraw treatment and watch someone die. Because there is no way she could become councilor and chief by breaking the Ark rules (zero tolerance), her S1 rebellious streak against the rules must have started after following them got Jake dead.(and almost got her floated twice)
