This is one of the more controversial parts of the Haloverse both among fans and those in canon.
As many all know, ultimately, 343 went in the direction of having the details of the Spartan-II program come public, and basically having Halsey blacklisted.
Was she justified in her kidnapping of children which ultimately saved the human race?
Or is she just a war criminal/mad scientist under the guise of morality and guilt?
Do the lives of many outweigh the lives of few?
My own opinion: I think had the Covenant not attacked, there's no way in hell I'd green light it, but, that being said, I'd do so with a heavy heart with knowledge of the threat and knowing they're capabilities. Wrong, but ultimately, preserving a humanity.
