    When my daughter was being delivered a surgeon asked me if I wanted to take pictures. I said no I dont think I could look without passing out so they took my phone and took pictures of my wifes c section for me. I dont think I’ve ever looked at them

      Mannnnn, I would be the same way. That whole seeing people cut open is hard enough. I can’t imagine seeing someone I care about anesthetized, cut open, and then their insides. I rather continue my delusion that their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

        Good lord… imagine getting a little cut on your finger, and you look at the cut, and you see a face staring out from inside saying “HI THERE I SECRETLY HATE YOUUUUU” while a set of toes and genitals try to seep out of the cut before you bandage it up forever. That’s some cthulhu-level stuff, man.

      pictures of my wifes c-section

      What. Is it like even ethical to suggest? I’m sure doctors don’t ask after a car accident if you want a bloody snuff of your naked partner. I’m sure there are people who are a bit too fascinated with having a child and want everything documented but, ugh, I’d rather forget this generally unpleasant and nervous time for everyone.

        Ethical? Yeah, totally. I can get why you and others may be bothered by seeing a surgery, but plenty of others are not. Ethics has nothing to do with the situation. It’s not like they are letting random people take pictures. The person who is there has already been given consent to be there in the first place. Also, the patient is usually awake during a C-section.

          They have given their consent for a medical procedure.

          Sharing an x-ray of one’s troubled jaw freely is illegal as it is too personal. And photoes of a bare vag and a c-section are too. Unless the woman is consenting to that.

          I’m caring more about the fact that these photoes are fucking grim and even if the consent is there, it’s weird someone would want them.

            They have given their consent for a medical procedure.

            Yes, and that is when you are asked if you want anyone else in the room with you. You can also change that at any time up until before you go in. Doctors do not let just anyone in without explicit consent.

            I’m caring more about the fact that these photoes are fucking grim and even if the consent is there, it’s weird someone would want them.

            That’s your opinion. Myself, and many others, do not think so.

            pictures of a c-section, vs pictures of a mangled corpse in a car wreck, is an apples to oranges comparison. I think you wouldn’t want to see a surgery, and you are really stretching to make it seem that anyone who would, is a bad person. Pictures of these things are common, lots of people film, and photograph, births. Many people are fine with recordings of their medical procedures, for both personal, and educational reasons.

            Just because you don’t like something does not make other people bad for finding interest in it.

          If the patient wants the pics then go for it! I have some pictures half way through a root canal that are awesome.
