''"There should have been another way." --The Doctor''

'''PLAUSIBLE'''

Of course, it is also perfectly possible that as the disease brought them back, the disease is also the only thing keeping them alive and well. Therefore, by getting rid of it, Ruby and Tom would be signing their own death sentences. This would still be far better than the alternative, obviously, and so they would use it anyway, and gas it to the entire building as the above theory pointed out, curing everybody else as well. Ruby would lose her sight and third eye, Tom's arms - all four of them - would rot and crumble away. Stitches would fall apart, Subject 6 would lose his powers, Filbert would be one-handed once more. Then at last, possibly after tearful farewells (at least in Ruby and Tom's case), they would die away. And then, yes, Metal Glen would be empty and lifeless, until someone broke in from outside at least.

CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE: There is no record of Filbert ever dying, so while his mutations would purify and begone, and he might even regain his sanity, it is likely that he will survive through this.

DEBUNKED: The Treatment can revive and heal a host, but is not the source of life.
