Zombie Villager Conversion

So last night I finished making my own NPC village and prepared to populate it with NPCs that are converted from zombie villagers. I was lucky enough to find a zombie spawner really close to the surface in our new building area, so my friend rigged up this really cool system where there is a track that goes around in a circle under the zombie spawner. So you put a bunch of minecarts down (5 or 6) and whenever a zombie spawns it will get in a cart. If it is a regular zombie you just kill it, but if it's a zombie villager, there is a switch that changes the track to a rail that leads to the new village.
I killed four zombie villagers in failed attempts. The first one was a proof of concept to see if I could get him to the village, and he burned in the sun upon getting there. The next two also burned in the sun because I wasn't careful enough, and the fourth despawned because I walked away from the area while he was converting. It takes 5 minutes for them to convert and you have to stand around them the whole time, can you believe that?
Anyway I got better at it, and now my town is fully populated with villagers. I really only had to convert 2, but I did 4 anyway because that would have just been too much inbreeding for me. I like to treat NPCs with as much respect as possible. I feel like being assholes to computer programs is going to piss off artificial intelligence when it becomes widespread and lead to a robot uprising, so I'd like to try to avoid that.
