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.

  This wins 🏅

  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.
- You don't think you've looked at them? Feel like that would registered in the memory bank.
  
  Nah if I did its been repressed lol
- 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.
  
  For my friend's C-section a nurse filmed it on her phone. The video was cool, reminded me of Alien.
  
  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.
