That would be so incredibly sad, on so many levels. The series has focused so much on presenting the point of view of both sides, portraying everyone pretty equally as guilty and innocent in the larger conflict.

In my opinion, a genocide of Ghouls would be an incredibly dark conclusion to things. Like you said, it would definitely illustrate the ugly nature of humans in destroying anything we don't understand or fear. It reminds me a bit of the conclusion of Elfin Lied, though there wasn't the same level of "kill them all".

Like you said, without any Ghouls around, the purpose of the CCG would cease to exist. There would be a lot of vicious people that no longer had legal outlets for their brutality. And I personally suspect that may be one aspect of their darker secrets, since they need Ghouls to continue existing. No more Ghouls, no more reason for there to be Ghoul Investigators or a CCG. The Washuu clan becomes purposeless, and loses their power.

That is probably one reason there's never been any effort to find the obvious solution to the conflict, which is providing Ghouls with some legal means to feed themselves. I mean, we can grow tissue in a lab. And they know that the primary cause of the Ghouls' dietary issues is an Enzyme. So....why not address that and remove the need to eat people? Because doing so removes the reason the CCG exists, and the perpetual conflict.
