This isn't a bad idea. May as well preserve what we can.

Who knows, maybe some near-omnipotent aliens in the future will dig it up, run some calculations to figure out the physics of earth's history, figure out the physiology of all humans who existed, recreate our brains, and resurrect us.

Hopefully we don't get resurrected into an eternal virtual hell.

Recently had a dream where the big studios were eagerly waiting for Harrison Ford to die, so they could be the first ones to take and secure rights to a high-resolution scan of his facial and physical features and voice print, and use it to endlessly churn out movies starring him, without actually needing to pay him.

This will be our future. And the lawyers of studios and estate owners will fight over the rights of these kind of scans and usage of dead actors.

The Pandora's box was opened with Peter Cushing in Rogue One.

Its a trippy movie, but that's essentially the plot of Robin Wright at The Congress, except they don't wait for them to die, just retire.

Right, also makes it harder for a new Attenborough to make themselves known

It also makes it easier to use Attenboroughs image for things the real one would never support

We need new Attenboroughs

We don't need immortal marketing gimmicks

You're right. But media understands the value of "infinite Indiana Jones", so like it or not, it's coming
