Alien looks at earth. With super-dyper tech they observe a lot of details and start predicting how one particular human will live. With super-dyper tech and galaxys worth of resources to model one planet they get good accuracy even if it is quite intensive deduction. Based on the prediction the aliens go to the predicted death event of that one particular human and copy the brain state to a flesh and blood body. They wake the reincarnation on their own planet and do interviews or whatever anthropology they set out to do (maybe even with galaxy-budjets there are resource limits and not having to simulate is economically significant).
Aliens couuld simulate faster than time ticks on earth and get a signifcant heada-up. When the body wakes up the “original” is separated by more-than-lightspeed difference. So there exists spacetime causality isolation.
When the person dies (on earth), if he would know about what the aliens did, should it give him solace? To my intuition there is no “carrying on” as there is no time connection between the death and the carnation.
Far future doing the resurrection is not useful for this point as your life would be a cause for the resurrection.
Scenario to tease out where my intuition diverges
