Allagans are pretty well known in experiments in that regard, and passing DNA is not unheard of (which is how G'raha, even though he isn't of Allag descent, possesses Royal blood through the highest level of Allag Technology). IIRC, the Princess of Allag - Salina - used Allagan technology to infuse her DNA into G'raha's ancestor so that his family could restore the tower as a beacon of hope.

So yeah... it's quite possible Emet was trying to recreate memories using The Final Days as a catalyst for people whose souls were born after the event. He could have failed entirely, but having the powers of the Resonant being so similar to the Echo could have affected the soul to the point where they were able to get his memories of the Final Days by peering through the DNA. A far outcry to be sure, but not implausible based on what we know about the Echo's abilities and how the Resonant is based off the Echo.
Are you really gonna try that hard to rationalize something in the lore after tonight's live letter? You're probably trying to fill gaps the writers didn't even consider or dropped plot points.

It all feels pointless now. Next patch they'll retcon or create new rules for memories just to fit with the writer's whims on that particular day.
