Did poor dead Helen McAllister ever give permission to anyone to use her engrams (or whatever the PVB version of them are called) to create Hallie?

Quote:

I've considered introducing Helen's family a few times, but have never really gotten far in the plotting of a story. I still don't have any plans to do so, but it does seem like this current AI rights subplot would be fertile ground for someone to address the idea of being the unwilling source for a future artificial mind.

I haven't forgotten the whole AI thing, but legislation takes time to draft.
