Dumb and dumber.
My answer is NOT absolutely yes or no.
I have raised basic questions that could be brought up when raising such an issue. If it were to go further, it would far more detailed than I have just come up with. I am not going to explain it to you two.
I have heard it argued that a show like Dr. Phil is unethical because it breaches patient safety, confidentiality, privacy, dimished capacity.
When you televise something or go out in a public place and execute something it is not just about watching it, there are all sorts of other impacts that need to be considered, obviously far wider than you can grasp or even begin to understand before you come up with a clear and definitive answer.
