Part 2/9:
Alison's story begins with a deeply personal motivation. Diagnosed in December 2022, she was told that her illness was terminal—initially estimated to leave her with just three months. Her primary concern was her four children, aged from 4 to 12, and ensuring that they would remember her vividly despite her absence. Realizing that her time was limited, she sought to create lasting memories through cutting-edge technology.
She explains, “After my diagnosis, I found that time is limited for my two younger ones. I’m afraid their memories of me might be very vague. With this technology, even if I’m not around, they can still remember me.” This heartfelt desire underscores how technology can serve as a bridge across the inevitable divide of mortality.
