The point about Mettaton- You're right! However, you can see after the Mettaton fight, that she is truely regretful. Even in one ending going so far as "disappearing", possibly from suicide.

Also, it's very clear Alphys did not create Flowey in the lab. It says in one of her entries that it was in the center of Asgore's garden, the flower that came from the surface. She could have never predicted it would become sentient. Also, not to mention, Flowey did not become evil until many resets later, when he became bored.

Also, I just want to point out Mettaton cannot even kill the player until his EX boss fight. If you fail every single question on the quiz, without eating, Mettaton will leave you at 1 HP.

In the end, Alphys was just trying to do what Asgore assigned her to do: unleash the power of the SOUL. The best way for her to acomplesh this was... well, through a vessle that was neither human nor monster.

Even we really examine it too a tee, we can see that Asgore is at fault here, because he told Alphys to unleash the power of the SOUL, sending Alphys on the path to creating a vessle neither monster nor human, and accedentally ending up with Flowey.

TL;DR Asgore is at 90% fault here.
