Yeah, I think it's definitely a very flexible time when it comes to how cybernetics and advanced AI are treated, which actually makes it fairly interesting for a character like this, because he could have a lot of personal sway in how things roll out.
It obviously isn't all around illegal, but I think the most questionable thing in terms of Milly would be that his technology would not have been test approved for medical use on humans. Since, like medication, that thing would probably have to be approved to be allowed in a more general sense. So while nobody would get arrested or whatever happened to Milly, it could see be seen and weird and embarassing that he used EXPERIMENTAL TECHNOLOGY on his own, unconsenting child.
And since there's probably still a great deal of debate (which i'm sure would also be religiously fueled) there are probably people who would react to Milly badly if they knew the extent of her replacements. It'd probably be on par with being a homosexual about a decade back in terms of social unpleasantness.
