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

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.

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