    May I suggest the movie 'Brainstorm'? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorm_(1983_film)

    Seems like a fairly logical outcome to recording death / near death experiences.

    Man tweets his heart attack: Fair 'nuff.

    Now when someone updates their status in the womb or from beyond the grave: then I'll be interested!

    That is bullshit, all sources, for instance, the Bible, estimate human lifespan as being essentially the same as today. The difference was child mortality rates. Most people died before the age of ten, if you know anything about statistics, you will see how that effects the average life expectancy, even though, if you lived past ten you were about a likely to live to seventy five as you are today.
