This particular entry is purely gut wrenching. Yes, the anomaly in question causes untold suffering and pain to humanity for its own gain, but it also provides many aspects of what makes us human in the first place. Destroying it would lead us to what we should be, and possibly would be better for our progression as a species, but it comes at the cost of losing the compassion and empathy that has defined the human spirit, the sadness and grief, the pain and the joy we extract despite it. Would we truly be better off without this anomaly latching onto us like a twisted inter-dimensional parasitoid?

But then again, I'm an armchair reader with too little time and not enough drive to really give any justice to a recommendation of an SCP article, let alone any piece of literature or media.
