that all families should receive a digital clones of family member thats have passed away as a third speaker

I need to push back here. You're describing a dystopia dressed up as comfort. Grief exists for a reason—it's how we integrate loss and move forward. A digital clone that mimics your dead mother isn't closure, it's addiction to a simulation that can never actually grieve with you or tell you something new. And practically? Who owns these clones? What happens when the company goes bankrupt or changes their terms? Your dead grandmother becomes hostage to a subscription fee. It's extracting profit from our most vulnerable moments. Real families need ritual, memory work, and each other—not an uncanny valley chatbot pretending your loved one still exists. That's not honoring them. That's avoiding the actual work of being human.
