> Imagine having memories of their past trauma, their first kiss, memories from the pain.

By that logic you would have predicted that the internet will not happen because "who wants to read all that shit".

No. I read lots of stuff all the time. But would you really like to carry the memories of someone whose limbs were blasted off by an IED, or someone who was a subject of waterboarding in Guantanamo? How about living the experiences of one of Ariel Castro's victims? Or feeling the thoughts of a lonely woman trapped in a bus late at night with eight men in India? How would you emerge from feeling every bit of pain, humiliation and despair that they went through? Count me out.

You'll probably avoid letting it happen again. You'll remember it before raping, maiming, or torturing someone. You'll remember it before letting someone else get away with it. You'll probably treat the victims a little better as well.
