The question which rides the minds of everyone while watching this movie, "If that were me, would I have taken the offer?" Personally, I would have. Being a person who watches a lot of anime and plays a lot of video games, you dream of the chance of bringing a certain character to life or a creating a clone who resembles your ideal "person". However, in her case, a loved one has died..would I still take the offer? YES! Of course they will never be the perfect replacement for them. Just like Drake says, "If you had a twin I would still choose you". If the real person came back, without hesitation, I would take them over the clone.
I enjoyed this movie despite what many have said about it. It was not creepy to me, rather, it was engrossing. From the beginning till the end, I kept focus and didn't want it to end without seeing the character development of Ash 2 and how their daughter lived her (what looked like 5-6 year age) day-to-day without being in contact with her attic hidden father. I would have loved to see how he could have developed more feelings as a man, yet as a father. If this ever becomes humanities reality, it will be almost like living in a virtual world.

My perception of the film is almost the exact opposite of yours. I see where you are coming from, and from that aspect I wouldn't mind the idea of cloning either. However, me personally, I would reject such an idea because I am a firm believer in people having to grieve over the loss of a loved one or the basic need for human interaction. My view of a society where robots are majorly accepted would be just plain awkward. However,there's always different strokes for different folks.
I really like your enthusiasm towards this subject; however I would have to say that I wouldn't want to apply this technology in the purpose of bringing back a deceased loved one or creating the perfect friend but applying it to other purposes. For example, we have discovered planets outside of our solar system that could harbor life. Why not use one of these basically immortal robots, to send to these far away planets which take hundreds or even thousands of years to get to, to explore and if there is life show them what humans on Earth are like. I could conceivably see these robots being used for such purposes, but not as a replacement for an actual person.
