DOCS+ Eternal You (15)

If you had the chance to talk to a loved one who’d died, would you take it? Forget mediums and seances, Eternal You looks at the creation of digital replicas of our loved ones, avatars that we carry in our phones and who we can talk to as if they were across the kitchen table.

They’ll respond, they’ll answer our questions – but how close do they get to the “original”? Can they really replace someone who’s passed away. Can they replicate a mother or a son? And even if they can, should they? Are we not allowed to move on?

Eternal You reveals how they’re created, looks at the companies that create them and wonders if the digital development of eternal life really is a good thing. Do we want people to live for ever, do we need them to? In our phones and tablets?
