[Avodah] Kavod haMeis

[Micha Berger]

Is it a bizayon hemeis issue to publish gruesome photos of murder
victims? Can the family decide the niftarim would have prefered to have
their images used for the cause, and we could assume they would not
consider it a bizayon?

I'm asking hypothetically, as I presume any problem would be huterah or
dechuyah if the pros determined that the pictures' circulation had some
chance of saving lives. (In today's case, by changing at least some of
the world's response; in less political situations, perhaps by making
the community more alert for the ra biqirbekha.)

Tir'u baTov!
