IN the NEWS - Swedes attempt Digital Immortality

Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 4:16
"The Swedes appear to have embarked on an audacious project resembling something from an episode of the sci-fi series Black Mirror; they intend to make fully conscious copies of the dead in a
bid to offer digital immortality.
A number of Swedish scientists are researching how to produce digital copies of those who have already passed away. Dagen daily has reported they are also planning to set about making robots which would resemble the deceased.

To this end, the Swedish funeral agency Phoenix  is currently looking for volunteers who would give the green light to scientists to replicate the images of their deceased relatives.
The program might one day even approximate the level of sophistication of AI portrayed in the sensational television series Black Mirror, in which the revolutionary programs  are in essence sentient human clones, capable of not just talking but coming into physical contact with real people....., the technology could enable one to talk to a program which provides the image of a departed loved one, allowing them and their relatives to re-live the happy moments of their past."

COMMENTARY:
1) Creepy
2) What's in Sweden's water? (we've asked that multiple times on here)
3) Could this technology be used by the opponent of God to communicate through this to fool their relatives with things relating to the state of the dead?
