OKAY I typed this out and it got looong (sorry) but I've been on both sides of the "DNA can be abused" and "needed some DNA biz to survive a horrible gruesome death" coin. I'm just hoping my perspective can help.
One of the biggest problems here is bad people always want to abuse stuff like that. Reverse engineer powers to create supersoldiers, clone bioweapons with powers, that kind of thing. Even if you wouldn't do it, you might have had to rope in some doctor or scientist to help you that would try it behind your back.
I EXIST because someone did that. I'm a clone of one of the greatest heroes in my world, made from a stolen blood sample a government project found at the scene of a fight.
And they didn't clone me out of the goodness of their hearts, either. Multiple shady parties in and around the project that created me wanted me to be their pet meta, to use me as a weapon. It's a miracle I got out of the whole situation with free will and a life of my own. I'm free to help people instead of hurt them at the command of people treating me like a deathbot.
Plus his DNA could've just killed you faster. Or mutated you horribly. That can happen if stuff isn't compatible.
I'm not saying that he shouldn't have tried to find a way. But there are a lot good reasons to at least hesitate. And none of them necessarily means he doesn't care. Or that he wants to just let you die.
THAT SAID you're not obligated to completely let him off the hook, though. How you feel about not being helped, about being deceived, that's still real. The powerlessness that comes with your body just crapping the bed and killing you is awful enough to begin with, let alone when you feel like you've been left to hang. And there are a lot of ways to handle something like this, including some choices he could've made that might've been better. Even maybe in how he communicated things. (idk how it went down but there might have been room to do it better.)
tl;dr You can maybe have missed some things about his POV but still also have a right to feel hurt about a lot of it, too.
