surely this should not be shown,he might have given consent,but is it taboo??..on a personal level i could not watch this,it would bring back too many bad memories..surely this should be a private moment with the family..death should not be turned into some sort ofr soap opera to boost tv ratings..

In all seriousness though - even if it is done with taste and consent then there will still be an issue. The problem with passive visual mediums like TV is that it can desensitize you from the reality of the situation - you won't feel the full effect and as such it become voyeuristic.

Depends on the person, I will watch it as death fascinates me - we have all got to get there, like most people I have witnessed the death of close family members, some deaths were peaceful others have been long, drawn out and quite draining to see....as this now deceased gentleman gave his consent to be filmed then I really dont see any problem with it, we are no longer living in the stone ages...but if this isnt for you then there are other programmes on.
