Do you think the video footage of Irwin's death should be shown?

True, but I've seen angry bulls going after someone.

Well its a close call. There for a while it was neck in neck as to wether poeple wanted to see the video or not.

The people who voted "maybe", I think are being honest. Do I want to see it no, but there is a small measure of me that is curious.

I'm in the 'no' camp. Just as I was in regard to the Princess Diana pics in the wreck, and the slaughtered bodies of Ron and Nicole. Sure I know those pics have leaked out onto the net, but I have no desire to see them. I would hope that only Terry Irwin is given the right to make this call.

Show it so his kids could make money on it. DO it for his kids.

I know you meant this to be funny, which is cool with me. Seriously though, no amount of money can take away the pain his kids are feeling. Besides, he left behind a sizeable estate from what I understand.

Bobbi's original question was of morals. Is it morally right or wrong to air a man's death publicly and why/why not? Red herrings aside, I felt this particular photo evokes a lot of thought on that subject; regardless of how one ultimately feels about its publishing. In addition, since it is a past event it is a lot easier for one to form an opinion as to whether or not it should or should not have been made available to the public.

Agreed, plus it is easier to talk about it since it is already out there.

But you bring a good question. My answer? What would Irwin want? What does his wife want?

Personally, I would not have much of a problem with the video being shown...But his wife has the final say and we should all respect that.

I think that Irwin as an educator would not have a problem with it being shown.
