Nobody knew what the Catalyst was, and nobody knows what it does. The choices are known only to Shepard. They have no way to know that this or that could happen. Note that I wouldn't try to hide behind this, assuming I lived. When EDI talks about it, however, she's as safe as anyone else is on the Normandy. What they may or may not choose does not come into the equation. You are locked into making this decision based entirely on Shepard's morals, as decided by you. When I let myself get that far, I destroy them, I spent too much time trying to find a way to stop them, and destroying them makes sure they are never a threat again. While I would like to think that the crew that's been with me from the start would choose the same, and that the crew that joined me in the middle would understand the need to end this threat, once and for all. Neither of the other options accomplish this with 100% certainty, Destroy does.
Because I am willing to die to save the galaxy, if that's what it takes, EDI is too, she told me herself. So with no geth, it's a nonissue. With the geth, it's regrettable, but, brutal calculus, and much safer for everyone that's left.
The above is what I responded to. The above seems to be trying to suggest that because EDI is willing to die for the cause prior to knowing the choices, it makes killing her when you do have a choice acceptable and she would understand and accept that. Your post above kind of contradicts that. That is all I was really getting it. You can use the EDI is willing to die defense when she has no clue there were 2 alternatives to you choosing to kill her.
You are ultimately free to make that choice but that is all I was challenging.
