Well I think the thing is though that Ellison gave John Henry a real live person and a context to put that dogma to instead of just reading it. So this is where Ellison failed because you're right, he totally dodged that question about whether he life was sacred.
On Cameron, yes she was primarily created as a killing machine, though she also was meant to infiltrate so I'd imagine she'd have some rudimentary instruction on basic human interaction and in fact we know she can fake it really well when she wants (the pilot, Sampson and Delilah, Allison from Palmdale).
I've always thought since Allison from Palmdale that the Ts had figured out how to do a brain dump and actually transfered some of Allison's memory, but that's a total theory with no proof.
In any case, I'd say she's much more than your average T but yeah definitely no John Henry and doesn't have anywhere near the access to information that he has, though she arguably has more direct experience in human interaction and trying to understand human behavior.
