How is this ethically better than the original Lena - the model in that also one expressly approved the usage of the photo for the purposes it was being used for.

Maybe I read the wrong interview with her, but when she found out about it she expressed happiness about it. Since this replacement image was created after her interview, how is it ethically better in any way?
