Should Steve Irwin's final moments be broadcast?
Steve Irwin made a career partly based on taking risks with wildlife. His death this week at the barb of a stingray on Australia's Barrier Reef was filmed, and in a Sydney Morning Herald poll 40% of the 24,000 or so respondents thought it should be shown. Here, two medical ethicists try to answer the question of whether anyone should be able to watch it. More →

It may well harm the watcher, whose humanity and moral sensibility will suffer.

Years ago, I scoured the web for the full video of the Nick Berg beheading. Morbid curiousity I felt. After which I wish I hadn't. Seeing people at their moment of death in a voyeristic kind of way does something to you. I respected Steve for the work he did and message he put across, I think his memory should be protected by showing him as this courageous adventurous croc hunter and not as a defenceless human. Id rather it not be broadcast. -- simon c,
