Normally I'd agree, if she were intended from the get-go as a surrogate daughter. But from Ironwood's speech, she seems pretty explicitly a prototype for a C3/Hunter unit. I think it more likely that she was a proof of concept that someone on the project bonded with, but even so, he'd not really have authority to take a piece of military hardware off-spec. Even if he is project lead, the military liaison would not approve adding such functionality.

Agreed on the gynoids in general, but not this one. Not in the budget. Too much red tape to justify adding simulation reproductive organs to a military-sponsored testbed unit; she is, after all, the first instance of an artificial Aura.
