Janeway did plenty of wrong things, a few war crimes, some atrocities, harboring a pedophile.

The death of Tuvix was not one of them. Voyager needed both men in their respective positions not one man pulling double duty. There a number of times after the Tuvix incident that everyone on Voyager would have died if Janeway had made the other choice, simply because Tuvok wasn't there.

Just what I'm saying. But better and with more words. Tuvix had to go.

The ends justify the means, got it.

The means were also quite humane. Transporters aren't generally portrayed as being painful and they're quick. Janeway's disposal of that abomination was an act of mercy.
