nope, nadroid its a robot, robot may have intellect, but havent soul. Penny is syntetic human, its not a robot or cyborn, its artifical life form. She isn't made of cells, she can't metabolize, she doesn't grow, and she can't reproduce.

Scientifically speaking, Penny isn't alive.

That being said, I understand what you mean. She's sentient therefore she can't be programmed like other robots. The real issue is what Ironwood intends to do with her. She's already stated that she was made to save the world, but from what? Is she going to be forced to murder the Faunus of the White Fang, or perhaps wipe the Creatures of Grimm off the face of Remnant? These are significant questions because of Penny's apparentally human emotions, which require a human mind.

You see, human minds are exposed to psychological illness, and killing sentient, living beings can definitely result in quite a few mental scars.

OK, viruses isn't made of cells, they cant metabolize, they doesn't qrow, and they cant reproduce without using someone's cells. So you gonna say they isn't alive too? The life can have many forms, do you know what life is? Even scientists dont...

And btw, progresive ming can break natural principles, that totaly control animals. Did you eat bitter chocolate? Bitter taste means poison or at least toxical substance. Animal will never eat bitter food, if they dont know that its not poison, if they didnt eat it before. But we eat it, if some cure have bitter taste, and you know for sure its a cure, not a poison, you will eat it. Same with reproduction, there is a people calld "asexuals", they dont want to sex and making family, and its not allways some sort of desease. Some time they have normal hormonal and reproductive functions, they just dont want it...

I mean, no matter what princeples they put into Penny, if they havn't direct control, its up to her what to do. So this topic pointless...
