This reminds me of startrek
I never got into Star Trek, unfortunately. Care to explain?
There’s an episode of Star Trek: TNG where Riker and Dr. Crusher (maybe?) Have their DNA stolen from them. The thieves use this DNA to create clones that will introduce new genetic diversity into their society as they are all dying from genetic degradation. The thieves excluded cloning Laforge as he had a disability that they discriminated against. This led Laforge to become suspicious and eventually unravel the whole conspiracy.
Damn, I gotta get into Star Trek
I need more context.

Googling this sort of thing is fun: the first result I got was this quora page (it’s fun to read the nonsense sometimes, sue me) where all the responses are very salty and defensive mormons to what reads to me as a fairly worded question.

It seems to boil down to they believe you can save your ancestors from damnation if you baptize them post mortem. Regardless of how far back.
