I don't think Adelle and Topher see curing Priya and having her be an Active as separate actions; things have prices and actions have consequences--that's Adelle's creed, after all. Although I suppose there'd be the option of curing her, asking her, and then replacing the original, paranoid imprint if she doesn't consent. (Clearly, that's not what happened.) But they might view that as a waste of resources if Topher has to devote time and effort to something not guaranteed to result in a new Active.
And I suppose that the last possibility is that Adelle just doesn't see insane!Priya as a person, anymore than she sees Sierra as a person. Although at some point ("Epitaph One," probably) I remember Adelle invoking talk of souls, and if souls exist it'd be hard to claim the insane don't have them.
