Video of Steve Irwins death

[animal_rescue]

I know I would watch it if it was public but to me, death is an extreemly private thing and it should NOT be made public. It should only be use as a learning tool to maybe prevent it from happening to someone else.

Ditto, I would be very upset to see it though. Probably even crying.

I voted "no", but I'm not sure.

This is an quote by Steve from his IMDB profile (although, if you look for it now, they removed half of the quote):

"He tells his camera crew to always be filming. If he needs help, he will ask for it. Even if he is eaten by a shark or croc, the main thing he wants is that it be filmed. If he died, he would be sad if no one got it on tape."

Although, I would not like the media to be the ones to play the video. I think it would be more acceptable if Animal Planet did some kind of tribute segment and showed the video.

No!!! I think it should be destroyed. How would his kids feel if they ever saw that?

When my grandfather died in a car wreck, the police took photos which they do at those times. When my brother was in driver's ed, they showed the pics of Grandpa's car. It really shook him up.

Yes, they used the pics as a teaching tool but it was uncalled for!!!

Luckily for me, by the time I took driver's ed, they no longer used that clip.

No thanks...it has no place on a public medium. How traumatic would it be for his children to accidently see their father dying on TV or the internet, etc? I can't even imagine. I know I have absolutely NO desire to EVER watch someone die in front of my eyes...especially when it is by choice...ACK!

No, I hope it is destroyed. I don't think his family should be have to go through that. In this case, even if it's something he would have wanted, I would consider the effect on Terri and his children first. I'm sure he would not want to hurt them emotionally any more than they already are.

As far as I have heard, he would have wanted the video to be release, and at the end of the day it is up to his widow. I am sure she will make the right choice.

Hmmmm,
I wonder about Madonna, Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton's kids....

I would not seek it out, but I know that someone that I email would send it to me.

I don't have a opinion one way or the other.

I'd like to see it edited to show all but the last ten seconds.
