IIRC, both 2001(1968) and Solaris(1972) depict that kind of things as part of alien euthanasia process, not as happy endings

Well, 2001 is actually a happy ending, as Dave is reborn as a cosmic being. Solaris, at least in the book, is an attempt by the sentient ocean to communicate with researchers through mimics.
