Mm. If there were a way to reverse the effects of the ritual instead of having to kill them, that would be best. It's dangerous to just settle for the vote when their life may not be the only one affected, but I wouldn't know where to even begin with it.

It isn't fair. It feels like putting down an animal that was just doing what animals do.
