We've had years of Final Fantasy fans dedicated all their time and energy at explaining why Squall (FF VIII spoiler) is dead. It's still a fan-made theory and it's of course not confirmed nor canon according to Square-Enix. But there it is. Hundreds and hundreds of hours poured into an effort to explain something a fan would like to be true. Of course, more fans support this line of thinking.
So it's not far-fetched to think someone would like to trade Cloud for Aerith. It's nothing ridiculous, just a request from a fan.
She's not asking Cloud to die meaningless, but swapping their destinies as the author thinks (and supports) that Aerith is the most important character between them two.
