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.
