There was a Black Mirror episode about this very concept I believe.

It’s Black Mirror so naturally the episode was pretty disturbing and dystopian.

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.

And this comes as a surprise to whom?

I'm reminded of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Choosing the Resurrection Stone only leads to pain.

Imagine the article was "resurrecting loved ones as video ghosts could harm your mental health." It's also "true," but progress! Progress!
