Part-Unwind or Death - Janie

In chapter 29, the unwinds are packed into crates of four. In Connor's crate, the conversation gets pretty intense as they talk about morals and souls. On page 169, Connor yells, "I'd rather die than get a piece of an Unwind!"

I know it would be a lot different if you were in this particular situation, as an unwind yourself, but if you were in a life-or-death situation, and the only way you could be cured would be to get a piece of an Unwind, which would you choose? Death or part-unwind?

I think it would depend on the parts. If it were, say, an arm, I would rather accept the part of the unwind. Or if I needed a new spine to walk again, I think I would take one from an unwind, rather than die or be paralyzed. But then at the same time, I don't think that unwinding is at all moral, so in my self-preservation, would I be advocating the act of unwinding?
