I remain of the opinion that rebooting a sentient, aura-generating android wipes both the sentience and aura. Reducing both these things to being mere computer programs cheapens them. If Penny is dead but is rebuilt, it would take time for her to become self-aware again, and she would be a completely different person.

That said, it is entirely possible that Penny is not dead. If her autonomous functions are still fuctioning on local backup batteries, then she is effectively in a coma, rather than dead.
