My solution would be to tie up Mica and let her turn. Then let Lizzie see how the turned Mica was nothing like the old Mica. Tyreese still could use some time to heal, and you could lock up Lizzie at night to keep Judith safe. When Lizzie's father died, she couldn't put him down before he turned. Somebody else had to. So she has quite likely never seen somebody she loves turn.
Hershel also thought the people were just sick- he had to have the shock of seeing his family shot up before he accepted it. Is it really so far fetched to think a 12 year old kid would also not be able to accept it either?
The main thing- there was no pressing need to leave the house. In fact it was one of the best places they found in a while; with sustainable and renewable resources.

I don't see that as a viable option either. Did you see her playing tag with that zombie in the yard? She swore she heard the zombie talked and wanted to be her friend. And she seemed quite willing to be bit. Even if Mika (Miikka?
) was tied up and gnashing at her, she would probably still cut her loose and try playing with her. She would just end up getting bit and turned anyway.
Really the argument comes down to whether or not Lizzie was too far gone to come back from her craziness. You argue that she isn't. I would argue (and apparently Tyrese and Carol agree with the shooting and the killing) that she was in fact too far gone.
