Why do medical 911 calls get released to the public? Why do we need to hear the agony and fear in a parent's voice as they discover their dead or dying child and call 911 for help? What good does do any of us? Is it entertainment?? What kind of sick pleasure/curiosity/sadism does it take to want to hear this horrible recording of an emergency?
If a famous person dies, it seems as if all privacy is disregarded because, hell, "they chose to be famous," right? So why give their family, friends, or loved ones any privacy, when profit can be made, as all the sad, salacious, disgusting details are revealed for the sake of "news?" Listen, I understand information that may help prevent a future accidental overdose, diabetic coma, medical misstep, or the like....but why must the caller's pain be played over and over again on the television and internet? What good comes of this?
Ugh.
