No.

I mean, I would give almost anything to have my brother alive again by my side with the weight of the demons that drove him into the depths of alcohol addiction excised from his soul.

But to speak with a simulacrum? Or even the common "one more day" request. For the love of god, no. Losing them once almost broke me, and it's hard enough when their ghost shows up in my dreams or my memories when it's quiet at night. But to have to lose them *again* or become emotionally attached to a simulacrum under someone else's control? I'm not sure I could make it through it.

And that last point, I think, is the hardest and most dangerous. It is*not* the person, no matter how good the simulation is.
