Freezing is in no way humane, if you don't beleive me, put your arm in a bucket of ice water for 10 min and find out for yourself.
I completely agree with you that no life is worthless, but its your choice so make sure your sure with whatever you do. If it can't eat, digest and poo, I'd have it put down. But if it lives, it lives. if its in pain, its had that pain its whole life, since befor it hatched, and dosn't even know it.
If you decide to put it down, CO2 chambers are a humane way to do it and rodent breeders often have them. If you have the money, you can always have a vet do it.
This can't be easy for you and i hope I help rather than make it worse.
