Digital necromancy is the process of re-creating celebrities digitally, or other

Digital necromancy is the process of re-creating celebrities digitally, or otherwise bringing dead celebrities “back to life” in today’s entertainment.  Explain if you feel that this ability to bring celebrities back to life (digitally) is a good or a bad thing. If you were a celebrity, would you put a clause in your will (as Carrie Fisher did that allows her to be in Star Wars or as Robin Williams did, disallowing any digital use of his image) to allow or protect against you being used in commercials or movies without your consent? What if you died in the 1960s and now your grand-nephew is putting you in beer commercials today? Is it OK, or is it wrong?
Should only celebrities alive today (who realize that this technology is possible) be able to participate in this kind of after-death contract, as opposed to those who died over 30 years ago and would not have known to include a clause in their will prohibiting this type of usage of their image? You can bring up any other issues that you can think of related to this issue in your writing.
Finally, try to find an example of a dead celebrity selling something today (apart from the ones mentioned in the video). It can be just a photograph in an ad or a moving image like a commercial or one in a movie (like President Kennedy reanimated in the film Forrest Gump). What do you think?

Minimum 6 paragraphs (6-7 sentences per paragraph), Times New Roman, black, 12 points, double-spaced. Attach the links to your sources at the bottom of your paper.
Here are some helpful hints for your discussion writing:
Do not use A.I. to generate your paper in part or in whole. I run all discussion submissions through an A.I. detector; if you use A.I., it will result in a zero on the assignment with no chance to resubmit. Using AI also robs you of the opportunity to learn from your writing mistakes, which will only make your writing stronger through trial and error!
It’s OK if you are getting dates, names or any outside information to reword and put into your paper; just be sure to copy and paste the URL addresses that you visit at the bottom of your paper. It lets me know that you are diligent about citing your sources.
Always be sure to meet (and exceed) my minimum writing requirement. Always have the specified number of paragraphs in distinct paragraphs, not as one big text with no breaks. Remember, just meeting the writing minimum is a C; it’s average. Try to go beyond it!
Do not copy and paste any information directly into your paper (it’s plagiarism and results in a zero grade with no chance to re-do), but rather put things into your own words, then cite the source (copy and paste the URL address) at the bottom of your paper. 
Don’t quote scholars too much in your work; I’d rather hear your take on what they said. Say: “According to whom?” and then reiterate what they said in your own words. After that, you can cite the source at the bottom of your paper (copy and paste the URL address). 
List the artist, the date and the year of an artwork’s creation first.
Artwork titles, as well as movie titles and names of TV shows, appear in italics, not quotation marks, like so:
Artwork:
Jacques Louis David, Oath of the Horatii (1784)
Movie:
Steven Spielberg, Jaws (1975)
TV show (give the date range of how long it aired originally):
Joss Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003)
You always date the artwork (or TV show or film that you are mentioning) the first time you talk about it to orient the reader, and then afterward you can just say Jaws or Oath of the Horatii, but it still remains in italics throughout your paper.
