The first people to become immortal and to be able to simulate others, will want to simulate ("revive") their own loved ones who died just before immortality was developed.
These people, once resurrected and integrated into society, will themselves want to resurrect their own loved ones who died a little earlier than that.
And so on until most, if not all, of humanity is simulated.
Yes this.
An interesting consequence of this is historical drift: my recreation of my father would differ somewhat from reality, my grandfather more so, and so on. This wouldn't be a huge concern for any of us though, as we wouldn't be able to tell the difference. As long as the reconstructions pass interpersonal turing tests, all is good.
