If Joel thought she wouldn't have wanted to go through with it, he wouldn't have swore to her at the end of the episode.
Ultimately, Joel is guilty of the same thing as Marlene.
Well I’ll add this: Can a child who clearly has PTSD and recently suffered severe trauma truly make that choice for themselves? Marlene was making that choice for Ellie, technically Joel could give her a chance to grow up and make that choice for herself later. Of course, Ellie would need to know the truth to make that choice. Watching the show, we don’t know if that will occur or not.
