character - In Prometheus, is Meredith Vickers a human or android?

While I was
watching Prometheus this weekend, I initially thought that Meredith Vickers was an
android, like David. They never made it perfectly clear that she was or wasn't human.
They did hint at both
though.

1. Peter Weyland, the
   old trillionaire, did say that she was his daughter. He could have meant this
   figuratively though.




2. Janek, the
   captain of the Prometheus, asked Vickers for sex like he was asking an android for a
   glass of water. After she agreed without emotion, he sang "if you can't be with the one
   you love, love the one you're with" before he had sex with her (although they didn't
   show it). This suggested to me that he wasn't going to be with a human, but was going to
   love the android he was with.




3. The
   surgery pod wasn't designed for use by a woman. Why would a trillionaire who could
   afford to build a surgery pod not build one for use by his own
   daughter?




4. Vickers has a different last
   name than Weyland, which at least suggest that they are not natural
   father-daughter.

Answer

In my
mind, it's likely that Vickers is an android.

• The first clue while watching the
  film was her quick recovery from cryosleep.


• Later she's
  called Weyland's daughter, but David was given the name Weyland " href="http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Weyland" rel="nofollow">had initially reserved
  for his own human son".


• Vickers has the
  physical strength to easily push David around. In Alien, androids
  are depicted as being much stronger than humans, so this suggests Vickers is as strong
  as David, an android.


• David and Vickers were the only
  ones who knew that Weyland was on board, so Weyland trusted them both completely. We
  know why he trusted David, it doesn't seem outlandish that he trusted Vickers for the
  exact same reason.


• The med pod is in Vickers quarters but
  would be unable to properly perform surgery on her, given that it's set to male. If she
  were a human, it's possible that Weyland didn't care enough for Vickers to provide her
  with the medical capabilities that the med pod
  provided.

My own theory is that
Vickers is a later model of android than David. David's (a male, mind you) a logical
breakthrough who can imitate human emotions. Then for a later model, a female android is
created who has actual emotions. This provides a sort of symbolical balance in Weyland's
ultimate creation, artificial men and women. This also makes a nice biblical
reference.
