I don't view it quite so positively as you. While I admire her keen sense of purpose, I think her self-concept probably stems from her father treating her as only a means to his dynasty. She's deeply internalized that she, stripped of her abilities, is of very little value to anyone. If her only value is a tool, then she may as well be a useful one. I really wanted a chance to say something like this, only less cheesy:
"Miranda, you're so much more than your abilities. Do you know how many beautiful and brilliant woment I've known? I didn't want any of them. I want you. Your drive, your ambition, the fact that you will do anything for those you love. That's what I love about you. Your father didn't engineer that. It's all you. You're what's precious to me, not your genes or your skills."
Like I said, pardon the cheese.
Shepard does say something like this very early on. Like how it is the fire inside of her that makes her great not her skills, I do not remember the exact line. But it was more of a statement of respect than love.
I did not say it was a totally admirable quality to think of yourself as nothing but a tool to be used but the direction Miranda chose to take her feelings of worthlessness and her existential and identity crisis says alot about her. She gets out there and wants to make a difference to justify her existance. Most of us would not respond that way.
