This is but another example of how for some people and larger societies, they simply cannot accept death as a part of life.

And yet, because it is transient is what gives life its quality.

If you like mice, and let them roam you will never see them. If you like them so much and cling onto them so they cannot move, you will strangle them.

You need to find that middle ground. Trying to keep some semblance of them alive as an informational clone is not a middle ground.

Remember, death is the price of admission you pay on the exit.
