If that technology existed a lot of people would live in misery knowing that they could be seeing their dog and their parents and speak to them one last time, but only when their time to goes come. Either that or people would be able to use it whenever they wanted or could pay for it and it would become a new highly addictive and harmfully dissociative tech product that I venture to guess would be like 10x more harmful to society than Facebook ever was.
I don't even know if it would have some kind of therapeutic use of whatever. Yeah ir would be a wonderful experience and I... ehh... let's say "dreamed" about similar experiences a few times and it was a powerful "dream". But being able to do it on demand would I think change how grieving works in the modern world so much! And we rely on the things that went to not actually be there for us on demand to be able to move on.
It's a beautiful idea but it's as beautiful as the fear of nuclear MAD keeping the first world safe from war in their own land, not as beautiful as a poem or a flower or a good memory.
