I can't tell whether you're fishing for a recation, in which case: well done - *golf clap* or if you're dumb enough to think that stupid and tasteless idea would work.
The point that these are dangerous criminals with violence and murder in their pasts is well made by the near rape of Ripley. There's no need to return a child, who was obviously the heart of the second film, to suffer that fate. The story of Hicks and Newt ended and they had no part to play in this film. It's as simple and conclusive as that.
In practical terms the rating would go through the roof or be refused a rating. So, No. Maybe your mother was wrong and at 14 you were too young to see it.

Have the alien appear and kill Hicks as he defends Ripley (a heroic death for a beloved character).

Fail. 1. Terrible cliche. 2. Ripley doesn't need Hicks to defend her. She does alright by herself, always has.
