Death is part of life. I'm getting to the age where I need to accept that my days are numbered by sheer senescence. My grandparents are long gone, my wife's parents are long gone. It's only a matter of time; the antithesis to life.
When some of us dream we dream of those who've died. Those are my favorite dreams. They're not liable to be exploited which is where, I suppose, the mental health harm arises.
Imagine the article was "resurrecting loved ones as video ghosts could harm your mental health." It's also "true," but progress! Progress!
