Digital immortality projects are creating virtual avatars of deceased loved ones, preserving memories, personalities, and even voices. These “virtual afterlives” offer comfort and continuity, blurring lines between life and death.

The concept of virtual afterlife forces us to reconsider mortality and the human need for legacy.
