I can sort of see the argument that she was assaulted, that she made her decision and was still begging "no, no" even as he did it.
But at the same time, when your brain is boiling in your skull you are not fit to make life-and-death decisions, and the Doctor could hardly stand by idly while she died on his deck knowing that he could save her life.
And besides, you're so right. This can be fixed! She can get her memories back somehow safely... or, and to my mind this is just as likely and good an ending, someone ELSE can show her what the Doctor showed her about herself. It's not like he gave her anything, but that he showed her the way.
