There was this series I read when I was a kid called Unwind where parents could sign their kids up to be harvested for organs and limbs to use as transplants. I don't remember a whole lot of the story but the bit that stuck with me the most was the ending:
The main character lost his arm and, while he was unconscious, was given an arm from an Unwound, who happened to be a personal antagonist with a shark tattoo. His girlfriend was paralyzed by the same incident (an explosion, I think) was conscious when rescued, and declined to have any transplants because it would mean benefiting from the very system that they'd been trying to destroy
Penny being made human reminds me of this. She wasn't capable of giving input to having her entire body irreversibly modified, nor did anyone even bother to ask if this is what she would've wanted. They went with what they thought was best for her without really thinking of her
