Video clip ethics and the death of Saddam Hussein
Beta Alfa poses some important questions about video clip sites and the death video of Saddam Hussein. My translation.
Is it okay to publish images of real executions?
Is it okay that this clip now most likely is being spread between children’s cell phones?
Is it okay because it’s Saddam Hussein?
Would it have been wrong if it would have been an unknown person?
Would it have been wrong had it been an accident?
Should video sites take their responsibility and make this clip less accessible?
Where do you draw such a line – who decides what’s okay?
The questions could be asked of traditional media too. Still images of the dead Hussein have been shown, as well as video clips of the preparations for the hanging.
Beta Alfa writes that he has no answers to these questions. Neither do I. But they are important none the less.
All what happenned was like braking the law, even his death, its not abt saddam waas a bad guy, its just because they dont need him anymore, Saddam killed a lot of mans, so do others in the name of justice… all i know that no one have the right to take another ones life, nor saddam (no matter what he did) or the ones who killed him, its so strange how ppl and society can be manipulated, and our opinion has no value, we all cant decide anything. even manifestation cant affect the presidents decision.
Even if it is saddam we dont have the right to treat him like that, and break the law. anyway they are killig ppl in irak now more than saddam killed.
Hope all bad ppl become good ones so that we cann all live in peace, and that all childrens r happy, and wish that all ppl woke up to defend the humanity rights. Love u all
