South Korean show ‘reunited’ mother with deceased daughter in virtual reality

I saw this and am of two minds about it. As a parant I understand the wanting to see your child again, but not being able to touch them and to have them gone again would just increase the pain I think.

 

I prefer to consider that if you loved someone and lost that person, that person as long you remember them within yourself they never die. Remember that when someone dies, they return to dust and there isn't anything "There" of that person anymore. The belief is that when you do pass on, you will have the hope of seeing and being with them again some day. God only knows I lost many, and who hasn't? Given a long enough life and capacity for love of family, friends and so on.

I can see the other side of the coin but frankly you will create more trauma all over again. Particularly if the coding or behavior is not correct which would be for the time being very hard to do. However I am not opposed to virtual memorials of a sort, but we are a long way with this early form of technology for that purpose.

If we lived and never lost anything, then we lose a little something of ourselves.

 

This is not a good thing.
After my wife passed away in 1999 I watched some videos with her in them and had to stop.

It does play a lot of tricks on your mind and a child would be torture.
