No respect for the dead! As our technology advances, we need to do a better job of asking ourselves not only "can we do this?", but "should we do this?". I wonder if Robert Burns would find it ghoulish for people centuries after his death to be toying around with his skull and making digital recreations of his face for their own entertainment. Maybe he would be OK with it, but I find it extremely disrespectful.

Reenacting him as an actor is one thing. Trying to recreate him based on body parts is just creepy. Next they'll have him doing commercial adverts like they've done with the late Colonel Sanders. No respect!

Maybe the shape of the head is accurate enough, but the eyes and mouth movements don't look realistic. Try again in another 20 years, or when the budget is big enough to do it right.

All the more reason for cremation.....
