Even if you reactive her later, you've still destroyed the original person.Certainly, the only group around that might not consider it such would be some of the Galacticans... until you point out the one that they met three months ago at one of the trading ports and never realized.
Although I expect more pragmatic Galacticans merely will refuse to create AIs and androids themselves, and have no issues with the ones made by others that interfere with them getting things done.
