Also, they should have dragged one of the other kids back and let the Doc grab brain and spine from them.
I thought the same thing and looking at the threads it's barely mentioned. I suppose people are more primed to think about race crap that critically think about the ending.
Justineau knew this information before they went out. They could have dragged back the alpha hungry that Melanie (possibly) beat to death.
I get the feeling that the good doctor was always saying she just needed one more brain for the cure. However, since she was dying, this would probably be the last one she'd work on anyway. After which, we'd know for sure that the world was a goner. No real need to even light up a spore tree at that point. Doc could teach from her trailer just the same.
Also, the Dr. could have cauterized her hand early on.
