The question of whether a vampire (whether male or female is irrelevant) can ever be "good" is a continuing debate esp nowadays in the days of "True Blood/Twilight/Vampire Diaries. ( In the old days of Hammer Horror flicks it was so much more cut and dried, everybody would cheer when Dracula-whether Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee -would bite the dust). Nathaniel Cade in Christopher Farnsworth's "Blood Oath" noted gloomily that no matter how many times he saves the United States (and by extension humanity) he can NEVER atone for the lives he has taken- at least before the judgment of God. Mina Harker in the 2003 film "The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen"( who despite being a vampire is untroubled by both sunlight and holy objects- at the film's conclusion we see her attend Allan Quatermain's funeral despite the crosses in the cemetery) helps prevent(or at least postpone ) WWI.
I admit that I am not a particular fan of Jubilee but I think if her desire to be "good"(which she has already shown by becoming an adoptive mother and in general refraining from preying on humanity) is sincere she should in all conscience be encouraged.
Given that the X-Men and mutantkind in general are stigmatized by humanity at large(or a vocal minority of the latter) it seems cruelly ironic that they should
behave so mean-spiritedly towards one of their own!
