Sorry but I STILL don't think he is "wrong" for trying to give Elena the cure even if she doesn't "want" it
Then again I *barely* think he was “wrong” for similarly giving her vampire blood (yes, he was wrong. But barely to me. lol)
Hell maybe my morals are skewed but when you love someone and you KNOW they are either A) going to die or B) going to do something that will affect them in an extremely negative way for the rest of their lives….honestly, I wouldn’t care if they want it or not. I’m sorry I know everyone’s like “rah rah liberated Elena!” but she is NOT liberated. She is under the influence of her own vampirism. This is not liberated Elena because this is not truly completely Elena. Yes this is a part of Elena. It is Elena. But it’s not truly completely her.
It’s like saying that crazy hunter psycho Alaric was “liberated” and that he could do whatever he wanted, and that they should sit back and let Ric kill all of his friends and the people he cared about because he “wants” to. This is really NO different. Because guess what - he wouldn’t have wanted that. That was Ric but only a PART of Ric.
Everyone was screaming to “fix” Elena when she first turned, but turning into a vampire doesn’t completely MUTE the parts of yourself that make you who you are. It enhances them, skews them a bit yes. But you are still you. Similarly to how different things in life can CHANGE a person for the better or worse, but you are still you. But life doesn’t completely shut off parts of a person - unless you’re under the influence of something obviously. It doesn’t completely take away a part of yourself that makes up so much of your personality.
Damon and Stefan know all of this first hand. They’ve been there. Damon is trying to use all that struggling he’s been going through since season 1 to help her. And he knows, once she turns that switch on, which she will - she is going to go through a hell of a lot of crap she wouldn’t have otherwise if Damon and Stefan didn’t give her the help she didn’t want. Not only is Elena still a teenager but she is a newbie vampire. Not saying Damon and Stefan are supposed to be her parents but they love her. This means they want to look out for her. And they are both like 200 years old, they are going to know a thing or two about the vampire switch. Yes, in this case, both of them know better, and the Elena they knew like 2 episodes ago would have NOT approved of them sitting back and watching her do something like…ohhh I don’t know, trying to kill her best friend…and not do a thing about it.
Damon is completely in the right with this one. Completely. I’d be mad if he didn’t do whatever he could to get her to turn it back on. He knows turning it off is only a quick fix that if taken too far…will only make more problems.

The next morning
Damon and Elena were lying asleep when someone rang the bell. Elena was fast asleep, so Damon sneaked out of bed and put on his pants from the day before.
“Hurry up, Damon. You don’t want her to bleed to death, do you?”
Damon groaned as he recognized Rebekah’s voice. He walked to the door and opened it and Katherine fell in his arms. She was bleeding from her neck and Damon looked up shocked at the blonde Original, who smirked at him.
“What happened to her?” Damon wanted to know.
“I happened” Elijah answered, stepping forward. “Can we come in?”
“No!” Damon said rude.
“I was merely being polite. Of course we can come in. This house is being hosted by vampires, whom cannot possible deny the admission to an Original. So, why don’t you step aside? We’ve got things to do, plans to make, wars to prepare” Elijah said as he walked past Damon.
