Not to get political, but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez contemplates justice for Tuvix

I disagree because ethics is more complicated than just how the math works out. You also have to take into account consent, and Tuvix did not consent to be murdered.

Let's say there's two people dying in a hospital. One person needs a heart transplant and the other one needs a lung transplant. Is it ethical for the surgeon to go out into the waiting room and pick someone to murder so their organs can be used to save the two lives? The math works out, but it's still wrong.

On a side note, I also disagree with framing the question as "saving" two lives. Tuvok and Neelix were already dead. You're not murdering one person to save two lives. You're murdering one person to resurrect two people from the dead.
